Aftermath

G  G  G  G


[Verse 1]
G
 Windows in a silent room , sunlight
 burns the walls to black
Am
  Angles and dimensions melt while 
colors drip and pillows crack
Bm
  Reflections of my memories like 
pictures pasted on a sheet
Am                                
  The ribbon film of separate 
   G
frames lying curled up at my feet


[Verse 2]
G                                 
 The film is just a snake design 
       D/F#
and the photographs are fading fast
F                                 
 These are not memories of mine I 
G
have no future, no past
D
 I've seen a thousand afternoons 
dissolve into the night

D
 Like sugar crystals on a spoon they
 disappear from sight
Em7                A             
Gray days from the crispest 
          G        F#m     Em7   
morning to the warmest afternoon 
     A
  in this room


[Verse 3]
D                                 
 And I like to draw the face I saw
             C
 so long ago
D                       C        
 My image in the mirror tells the
              D
 jagged lines which way to go
Em7                   A          
  The black and white description
        G             F#m
 of the sole survivor of the 
Holocaust
G
 All the rest were lost


[Verse 4]
G
 Do you see this paper face? It has 
no color or no mood
Am
  My eyes are ageless, as am I. I 
need no sleep, I need no food
Bm
  I am a king, but like a child the 
other children laugh at me
Am                           G
Tongues of fire, wagging wild they 
dance around me merrily


[Verse 5]
G                                 
 I'll kill them all and if I fail 
D/F#
I'll kill whoever I can find
F
 Then they'll beg me to be kind
D
 My eyes have seen far more than 
eyes can ever tell
D
 This planet plunged through 
mushroom fires of earthly hell
Em7                     A        
   I know that my sweet Jesus 
       D      F#m
said that he'd return
    Em7         A            
But Babylon has fallen and the 
  G      G7 D
cities    burn
