The Fire

        Em                       
For so long have my teeth held my 
  E                      Am
tongue from a venomous voice
        Em                        
But the poison has passed from my 
E                       Am
lips to my hands, an incendiary ploy
  Em        E            Am
(Hell will open up it's flue) I bare
 my soul through the flames before 
me
     Em        E            Am   
(And you will witness what the 
              G D
fire can undo)

[Chorus]
C                             
Far from the ash I will be born 
         C D
again
G                      C    G G
 Where every debt is repaid
D                            
Nothing left to keep me out of 
           Em D
paradise
   C
As portraits of the past fade away

[Bridge]
    C                    E
The id dots the eyes of antiquity
           F                    
While the ego, of late, has held 
   E
sway
     Am                        E  
Too foolish to stray past the line
              Dm                
 too weary to stay, too weary to 
  Em   E  Am
stay

[Verse 2]
        Em                   
Far too long have I waited to 
   E                  Am
witness the balances bend
        Em                  
In the favor of wrongs being 
   E
remedied

            Am               G D
Wickedness coming to an end

[Chorus]
C                             
Far from the ash I will be born 
         C D
again
G                      C    G G
 Where every debt is repaid
D                            
Nothing left to keep me out of 
           Em D
paradise
    C
As portraits of the past fade away
C                                 
Far beyond the act I will be whole
        C D
 again
G                      C    G G
 A phoenix out of the flame
     D                             
I'm burying that menace in my 
    Em D
memory
   C
A funeral held in my name

[Verse 3]
     C                     E
The ritual pyre's sending smoke to 
the sky
        F                     E
As the building continues to burn
     Am                     E
The wrath in the ruin, the pain in 
the grave
       Dm                       E
As the lies are retired to the urn

[Bridge]
        C                        
But we can't keep the embers from 
  E
catching
     F                       E
The truth from destroying us all
     Am                    E
Do I die as the martyr or miscreant?
               Dm                
I'll make the call, I'll make the 
  E
call

[Chorus]
C                             
Far from the ash I will be born 
         C D
again
G                      C    G G
 Where every debt is repaid
D                            
Nothing left to keep me out of 
           Em D
paradise
    C
As portraits of the past fade away

C                                 
Far beyond the act I will be whole
        C D
 again
G                      C    G G
 A phoenix out of the flame
     D                             
I'm burying that menace in my 
    Em D
memory
   C
A funeral held in my name
           Em
held in my name
