    Verse 1
    Night 
    comes 

    The mask 
    of 
    the world 

    Resolves 
    into 
    round 
    bits 

    of silver 
    on 
    the table 

    Round 
    arrow 
    knocked 
    again
    st 
    the bow 

    Round 
    fruit 
    devoured 
    by 
    time 

    While 
    the 
    moon 
    climbs 

    Verse 2

    Sea 
    swells 

    Illusion 
    is 
    queen 

    In 
    the shallow 
    graves 
    of 

    experience 
    time- 
    centered 

    Grave 
    silence 
    reigns 
    over 
    the stars 

    Graven 
    image 
    hanging 
    in time 

    While 
    the 
    earth 
    un
    winds 

    Verse 3

    With 
    rain 
    the 
    world 
    grows 
    us older 

    Lord 
    let 
    us not 
    be 
    lost 

    God 
    bless 
    the 
    children 
    with 
    knowledge 

    of 
    the cost 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Day 
    comes 

    The 
    hawk 
    of 
    gold 

    Springs 
    forth 
    in 
    flame 
    from 
    a highway 

    paved 
    with diamonds 

    Lion 
    rampant 
    on a green 
    field 

    Ramparts 
    cracked 
    into 
    the sky 

    While 
    the 
    Christ 
    stands 
    by 

    Verse 5
    With 
    pain 
    the 

    world 
    paves 
    us over 

    Lord 
    let 
    us not 
    be
    tray 

    God 
    bless 
    the 
    children 
    with 

    visions 
    of 
    the day

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
