[Intro] Em  Am  B  G  B7
        Em  Am  B

[Primera Parte]

              Em
When does it get quiet?
     Am          B
The time was supposed
      G   B7         Em
To extinguish the desire
        Am             B7  
But the embers won't snuff out

[Pre-Estribillo]

Em                   Am
   Haunted by your smiles
     B                  G  B7  Em
The mask keeps getting heavi___er
          Am            B
One step forward, two steps back

[Estribillo]

           Am
There's a noose round my neck
         B
And the further I get
      G        B7         Em
It's harder & harder to breathe
       Am     B              G    B7 
Can I find a way to cut the rope?
Em             Am
   I've been waiting for dawn
         B 
But the light is all gone
        G         B7        Em
Don't know if I'm already blind
    Am         B      G    B7  Em
Can I leave it all behind?

[Segunda Parte]

            Em
What's it really for
         Am           G     B7  Em
If it's not yours and it's not mine?
                            Am    B7
This victory is not what I hoped for

[Pré-Refrão 2]

Em                Am
   How was I to know
     B                G       B7    Em
That everything would end up like this?
                 Am         B
Survival of the fittest of sorts

[Refrão 2]

                     Am 
So I've become the bringer of death
   B 
A lover of life
    G         B7             Em
The one who guards from the dark of the night
Am           B         G  B7
I'll be the hammer of war
Em  Am                    B
   Justice & mercy don't live side by side
   G       B7     Em
So in retribution I abide
Am             B       
I'll tip the scales
             G   B7
To justice's end
Em
   But can it make amends?

( Am  B  G  B7 )

[Terceira Parte]

         Em
Kill or be killed
  Am    B      G   B7   Em
What a way to live and die
        Am                       B
I just can't see this cycle ever ending

[Pré-Refrão 3]

Em               Am       B
   How can I correct the damage done
     G  B7    Em
When I can't feel
           Am             B
The consequences of my recourse

[Refrão 3]

                     Am
So I've become the bringer of death
   B
A lover of life
    G         B7
The one who guards
          Em
From the dark of the night
Am              B      G  B7
I'll be the hammer of war
Em            Am
   I've been waiting for dawn
         B
But the light is all gone
        G         B7        Em
Don't know if I'm already blind
        Am     B      G    B7  Em
Can I leave it all behind?
