Am
And I believe that
Verse 1
everything that we do
in this world comes back
C
Every act full circle
like running on a track
Dsus4
And I'm not saying
Dm
that I'm always comfortable with that
G
Got some demons of my own
that I hope don't ever catch me
Am
I'm such with the thoughts
that I shut for this night
C
The ship were a cusser
waiting for my bus to arrive
Dm
But I dropped what I was holding in an instant
G
I caught a glimpse of a group of people
that had gathered in the distance
A
Am
Walking towards me
down the middle of the street
C
Feet moving in time
like they were written to a beat
Dsus4
They got closer, I noticed their faces
Dm
G
Didn't recognize any of them
but I watched on in amazement
Am
They look like the townspeople of Salem
C
Last line of defense in Berlin
before the city was taken
Dsus4
Man, woman and child
Dm
of all different ages
G
They were bound by something
as they took to the pavement
Am
I look for a flag,
Dm
were they marching for a cause
C
Or carrying a cross
like an army of the lords?
Dm
They were heading for court
or for parliament lawn
G
Gsus4
They had vengeance in their eyes,
G
I must have fallen
Am
They walk right past me
as if I wasn't there
C
A young girl caught me staring and turned
Dm
She looked me in my eyes,
said, no need to be scared
Am
You see, they took what was ours,
and now we're coming for theirs
We are the creditors are the creditors,
they call us the creditors
C
And we've come to collect
from all the indebtedness
Dm
We are the creditors,
they call us the creditors
G
Every name, every face,
every word of a sentence
Am
Any innocence ever taken,
we take it back
C
The world, the whole world,
the faith, the black
Dm
Hear the cries of the forsaken
G
Let it wake them, the dead of the night
Am
You can hear the ground shaking like
C
Yeah, and you can hear
Dm
the ground shaking like
G
Yeah, and you can hear
Am
the ground shaking like
C
Yeah, and you can hear
Dm
the ground shaking like
G
Yeah, and you can hear
Am
A
Am
the ground shaking like
Dm
Am
And I've been told revenge
is one best served cold
C
But this night was swelter
and no shelter in the city of sin
Dm
The sort of heat that can make
your clothes
Dsus4
stick to your skin
Dm
G
But it made no difference to them,
they marched on
Am
In row upon row,
they stretched like forever
C
Not birds of a feather,
but they walked together
Dm
Some in rags, some robes,
some everyday clothes
G
From every page out of the books,
they rose
A
Am
The left behind, the long forgotten
C
Some had watched from their villages
the bombs were dropping
Dm
They had their churches torched,
their land was taken
G
Knives in the back,
wild hands were shaking
Am
Or maybe caught in the crossfire,
strays from their weapons
C
Or taught by the taunts
to hate their reflection
Dsus4
The evilest of acts,
Dm
too depraved to men tion
G
I studied each face in succession
Am
Maybe sold out by a government,
Dm
ig nored by the reverend
C
Be trayed by the people
that were meant to protect them
Dm
History books have done their very best
to forget them
Gsus4
G
But tonight they re write the ending
Am
C
And it was too late for redemption
All manner of debts,
they came to collect them
Dm
No tears left, just empty stands
Am
See they took what was ours
and now we coming for theirs
We are the creditors
We are the creditors that goes to creditors
C
And we've come to collect
from all that indebted us
D
Am
We are the creditors that
G

Am
Every name, every face,
G
every one of ourselves
Am
Any innocence ever taken, taken back
C
The world, the whole world,
the faith black
Dm
Hear the cries of the forsaken
G
Let it wake, the dead of the night
Am
You can hear the ground shaking like
C
For as long as we can remember
D
The human race has made a habit
Dsus4
of exploiting,
G
cheating and betraying one another
A
C
Shit, entire countries and empires
Am
C
have been built on this habit
D
Many still are
Dm
G
But the way that I see it
A
No act is linear
G
Everything comes back around
And one day
C
All those who have fallen victim
D
To the ugliest sides of mankind
Will return
They will rise up
They will come for theirs
G
Am
They are any and every person
To whom something is owed
They are the creditors you
