Nothing To Repent

Em
As the night descends upon this 
world for which I've fought
    C                              
The shadows of my life grow tall 
  D
and haunt my waking thoughts
Em
In a world engulfed by darkness, did
 I bring the day?
    C                           
And did I ever let that darkness 
 D                    Em
take my soul away?
             C                     
For they did give me hell but I did
       Em
 not relent
           C                D     
And I will meet my end with 
       Em
nothing to repent

[Chorus]
        C               D
When we sail across the way
                       Em
And the reaper has his day
     C               D       Em
Only footprints will remain
          C               D
Make your mark on earth before
                       Em
You surpass that final door
           C           D
And you'll live forevermore

[Verse 2]
Em
When the night descends upon you, be
 wary that you're worth
   C                               
Is equal to the good that you have 
D
done upon this each
Em
Answer not to gods above or sermons 
from the blind
C                     D          
Only to the universal good of all
          Em
 mankind
              C                    
For they will give you hell but you
            Em
 must not relent
             C                 
And you will meet your end with 
              Em
nothing to repent

[Chorus]
        C               D
When we sail across the way
                       Em
And the reaper has his day
     C               D       Em
Only footprints will remain
          C               D
Make your mark on earth before
                       Em
You surpass that final door
           C           D     G
And you'll live forevermore

And as your final sun     sets in 
    B7   C
the sky
           G                D     G
All of the old clichés will apply
              D         Em        
The day comes to us all     when 
           B7         C
we hear the final call
           D                 G
So hear my words before your curtain
 falls
                  D       Em   
No matter who you are, no matter 
           B7
what you do
C                  G              
We're all wormfood in the end it's 
 D
true
   G                   D           
So make your stand and fight, find 
Em           B7
something to defend
C                  D

In the end it's up to you

To be proud of what you do
       C
And no matter what your purpose is 
in life

Make sure you see it through

[Chorus]
        C               D
When we sail across the way
                       Em
And the reaper has his day
     C               D       Em
Only footprints will remain

Em
No
             D
Will we ever learn
                  C
That there's no return?

Oh no
Em
So
                   D
Do not give up the fight
             C
And do not relent
           D                 
And you'll meet your end with 
              Em
nothing to repent
