G
Now, all history is reduced
C
to the syllables of
G
Our name-
F
Nothing can ever be the same:
Em
Now the Immortals are here.
Am
At the time it seemed a reas
G
Am
onable course
G
To harness all the force
F
Of life without the threat of death,
E
But soon we found that boredom
and inertia
Am
Are not negative, but all the law we know,
G
And dead are will and words like survival.

And all fa miliar taste is now drained,

And though purity is maintained
Am
It leaves us sterile,
E
Am
Living through the millions of years,
G
F
A laugh as close as any tear;
Living, if you claim that all
E
That entails is breathing,
eating, defecating,
Screwing, drinking,
Spewing, sleeping,
G
sinking ever down and down
F
And ultimately passing away time
Which no longer has any meaning.

Marshal every sullen breath

and though you're

To marry the girl who will
give you forever-
It's crazy, and plainly

Verse 4

E
What is the dullest and

bluntest of pains,
G
C
Such that my eyes never close
G
without feeling it
There?
F
What abject despair demands an end
E
Am
B
F
To all things of in finity?
G
If we have gained,
C
how do we now meet the

Cost?
What have we bargained,
and what have we

Lost?
What have we relinquished,
never even knowing it
E
Em
Was there?
Verse 5
Am
What thoughts now of
holding fast the line,
G
Defying death and time?
F
Everything we had is gone,
E
Everything we laboured for
and favoured more
Am
Than earthly things reveals the hollow ring
G
F
Am
Of false hope and false deliverance.
Verse 6
Am
But now the nuptial bed is made,
G
The dowry has been paid:
F
The toothless,
haggard features of eternity
F
Now welcome me between
the sheets
To couple with her withered
F

body - my wife.
Hers forever,
Hers forever,
Hers forever

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

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