[Primera Parte]
C#m A B G#m
See the man who stands upon the hill
A F#m G#4 G#
He dreams of all the battles won
C#m A B G#m
But fate had left its scars upon his face
A F#m G#4 G#
With all the damage they had done
[Pre-Estribillo]
A B
And so time with age
G#m C#m
It turns the page
B A
Let the flesh
A G#
Submit itself to gravity
[Estribillo]
A
Let our bodies lay
B
Mark our hearts with shame
G#m
Let our blood in vain
C#m B
You find God in pain
A B
Now, if your convictions were a passing faith
G#m C#m B
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
A G# C#m
And as the vermin crawls we lay in the foundations of decay
[Segunda Parte]
C#m A
He was there
B G#m
The day the towers fell
A F#m G#4 G#
And so he wandered down the road
C#m A
And we would all
B G#m
Build towers of our own
A F#m G#4 G#
Only to watch the roots corrode
A B
But it's much too late
G#m C#m B A
You're in the race so we'll press
A G#
And press till you can't take it anymore
[Estribillo]
A
Let our bodies lay
B
Mark our hearts with shame
G#m
Let our blood in vain
C#m B
You find God in pain
A B
And if by his own hand his spirit flies
G#m C#m B
Take his body as a relic to be canonized
A G#
Now, and so he gets to die a saint but she will always be the whore

A- gainst faith (Cage all the animals)
C#m C#4 C#m
A- gainst all life (Cause the message must be pure)
C#m C#4 C#m
A- gainst change (You can wander through the ruins)
C#m C#4 C#m
We are plagued
A
But the poison is the cure
[Estribillo]
B G#m C#m B
You must fix your heart
A B G#m C#m B
And you must build an altar where it swells
A B
When the storm it gains, and the sky it rains
G#m
Let it flood, let it flood
C#m B
Let it wash away
A B
And as you stumble through your last crusade
G#m C#m B
Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?
A G#
And as the swarm, it calls, we lay in the foundations
C#m C#m/B C#m/A C#m/G# A G#4 G#
Yes, it co--mforts me-- much-- more
C#m C#m/B C#m/Bb C#m/G# A
Yes, it co--mforts me-- much-- more
G#4 G#
To lay in the foundations of decay
