    When 
    the mo

    comes 
    to 
    light 

    the 
    lost 
    and 
    it’s eyes 
    on 
    you, 

    leaving 
    us 
    no 
    leg
    acy 
    but 
    residue 


    It’s when 
    you 
    preach 
    your 
    prom
    ises 

    like 
    the 
    filth 
    was 
    always 
    there 

    Like

    were 
    al
    ways 
    dead

    it 

    Verse 3

    And 
    with 
    your noth
    ing 
    word
    s, 
    stand 
    by 
    the 
    lie, 

    watch 
    your saviour 
    bleed 

    He said, 
    “My son, 

    they’ll know 
    you by 
    the numb
    ness 
    in your 
    knees” 

    If 
    I 
    could 
    run 
    the way 
    your

    Verse 5

    than the 
    wretch, 

    than the 
    pose 
    of the 
    penitent 

    And 
    with a 
    rapture 
    wracked, 

    spit 
    back 
    the 
    impact 
    in the garden 

    It’s your Judas 
    kiss 

    The shot

    done 

    Isn’t this 
    what 
    you 
    want? 

    The man,

    So 
    you 
    can save 
    your 
    empty 

    pray
    ers 
    for deaf 
    ears 

    Keep 
    your 
    eyes

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
