[Intro]
F#m     E  A  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
F#m
Don't think, don't speak, watch out
                          A
Don't blink, dissent is a cry for the dead
F#m
Chin up, back straight, don't ask, just hate
                             E        A  G
The serpent's alive, you are all crucified
 
 
[Chorus]
              E      D   G
Tear down the walls again
               E    N.C.  F#m
And all that remains
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#m
He'll see your good deeds and raise you two rights
              A                       F#m
He'll lose it all just to stay in the fight
F#m
And if you're still blind, sing praise from your knees
                 E              A               G
His heel in your back from once where you stood free
 
 
[Chorus]
              E      D   G
Building your walls again
               E   D
And all that remains
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
F#m     A
Broken, broken
F#m
Leave the lies
A           E
No use in defending
F#m        A              B   D  E  F#m N.C. F#m
Shattered, fragile to the core
 
 
[Guitar solo]
F#m    G   E  D  G
E
 
 
[Verse 3]
F#m
So hail, hail to deathmocracy
                              A
Hell for your thought crimes, hail to your piety
F#m
Oh, the irony, the antidote is the disease
                               E   A  G
The balancing of ignorance and atrophy
 
 
[Chorus]
              E      D   G
Tear down the walls again
                 E D
It's more of the same
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
F#m     A
Broken, broken
F#m
Leave the lies
A           E
No use in defending
F#m        A              B D E
Shattered, fragile to the core
 
 
[Outro]
C   G   D#   A#  D  G
