    Verse 1
    I'm 
    closer 
    to 
    the 
    Golden 
    Dawn 

    Immersed 
    in 
    Crowley's 
    u
    niform 

    Of 
    imagery 

    I'm 
    living 
    in 
    silent 
    film 

    Por
    trayibg 
    Himmler's 
    sacred 
    realm 

    Of 
    dream 
    reality 

    Pre-chorus 1
    I'm 
    frightened 
    by 
    the 
    total 
    goal 

    Drawing 
    to 
    the 
    ragged 
    hole 

    And 
    ain't 
    got 
    the 
    power 
    any
    more 

    No, 
    ain't 
    got 
    the 
    power 

    any
    more 

    Verse 2
    I'm 
    the 
    twisted 
    name 
    on 
    Garbo's 
    eyes 

    Living 
    proof 
    of 
    Churchill's 
    lies, 

    I'm 
    destiny 

    I'm 
    torn 
    between 
    the 
    light 
    and 
    dark 

    Where 
    others 
    see 
    their 
    targets, 

    diving 
    symmetry 

    Pre-chorus 2
    Should 
    kiss 
    the 
    viper's 
    fang? 

    Or 
    herald 
    loud 
    the 
    death 
    of 
    Man 

    I'm 
    sinking 
    in 
    the 
    quicksand 
    of 
    my 
    thought 

    And 
    ain't 
    got 
    the 
    power 
    any
    more 

    Chorus 1

    Don't 
    be
    lieve 
    in 
    your
    self, 

    don't 
    de
    ceive 
    with 
    be
    lief 

    Knowledge 
    comes 
    with 
    death's 
    re
    lease 

    Ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- 
    ah 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    not 
    prophet 
    or 
    stone-age 
    man 

    Just 
    mortal 
    with 
    the 
    potential 

    of 
    superman 

    I'm 
    living 
    on 

    I'm 
    tethered 
    to 
    the 
    logic 
    of 
    Homo 
    Sapien 

    Can't 
    take 
    my 
    eyes 
    from 

    the 
    great 
    salvation 
    of 
    bullshit 
    faith 

    Pre-chorus 3
    If 
    don't 
    explain 
    what 
    you 
    ought 
    to 
    know 

    You 
    can 
    tell 
    me 
    all 
    about 
    it 
    on 
    the 
    next 
    Bardo 

    I'm 
    sinking 
    in 
    the 
    quicksand 
    of 
    my 
    thought 

    And 
    ain't 
    got 
    the 
    power 
    any
    more 

    Chorus 2

    Don't 
    be
    lieve 
    in 
    your
    self, 

    don't 
    de
    ceive 

    with 
    be
    lief 

    Knowledge 
    comes 
    with 
    death's 
    re
    lease 

    Ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- 
    ah 

    Chorus 3
    Don't 
    be
    lieve 
    in 
    your
    self, 

    don't 
    de
    ceive 

    with 
    be
    lief 

    Knowledge 
    comes 
    with

    ah- 
    ah, 
    ah-

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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

      Tuliketsune

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
