Bm Bsus2 B7sus2   4x
 
 
[Verse 1]
     Bm                     Bsus2
This heart-pounding day has finally arrived
B7sus2        Bm               Bsus2
All  my living footfalls sigh like the night
   B7sus2          Bm            Bsus2
Outside  the war between illusion and truth
B7sus2         Bm         Bsus2
I found wisdom lain among putrid fruit of
B7sus2       D                  E
Desperation, cold, wild gift of youth
A               Bm    D E
Urgent  and dead-eyed
G               Bm    D E G
Urgent  and dead-eyed

[Chorus]
F#m A        B
    Hate the god
D          F#m

A        B    D          F#m
Heaven’s just a part of hell
A        B
Hate the one

Shikata  ga nai

Bm Bsus2 B7sus2   2x
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Bm                Bsus2
In the blue mist death has finally closed in
B7sus2         Bm                Bsus2
All my gasping words at war with the wind
B7sus2          Bm                Bsus2
Worshipping the fear of hell left me lost
B7sus2               Bm                Bsus2
I’ve found something for us, souls who have crossed
B7sus2           D                      E
Charon’s torrent cold spiked black with frost
A              Bm    D E
Ashen and dead-eyed
G              Bm    D E G
Ashen and dead-eyed

Hate the one

Who wouldn’t save us
A    B  D   Em7
Shikata  ga nai

[Bridge 2]
Bm      Dmaj7
He’s my blood
A           Gmaj7    F#m7
  Reflected in mud
Bm       Dmaj7
Leave my body
A           Gmaj7
  Among the poppies
F#m7  Bm             Dmaj7

  You were my god
