Interlude 1

Verse 6
E 
Em 
E 
 (E major) Now some say  (E minor) religion  (E major) has done
Em 
E 
 (E minor) more bad than good,  (E major) 
And religion has been the cause
E 
Em 
of all of our  (E major) wars.  (E minor) 
E 
E 
But I point the finger  (E major) not so much at re (E major) ligion,
But more to demonic governments and politicians
Em 
E 
exploiting di (E minor) vine laws.  (E major) 
You see they know the most effective
E 
way to control the masses,  (E major) 
Is to control what the masses
Em 
E 
Em 
believe.  (E minor)  (E major)  (E minor) 
E 
So what they do is  (E major) take the teachings
Dm 
E 
of  (D minor) great masters and teacher (E major) s,
Em 
Into which ritu (E minor) al  and dog
E 
Em 
C 
 (E major) ma they  (E minor)  (C major) breath
Fm 
E 
 (F minor) Anathem (E major) atize and replace
E 
the truth  (E major) and lies,
Em 
E 
Trying  (E minor) to hide  (E major) the light,
Em 
but of course the light never  (E minor) really dies
E 
 (E major) Father when will they realise,
the truth and pride of all of us
E 
Em 
And  (E major) if we listen  (E minor) hard enough,
E 
Em 
F 
Em 
 (E major) then  (E minor) we can hear you calling us  (F major)  (E minor)
