Verse 1
Tell (A minor)
you a thing that (D minor) you ought to (A minor) know
Two minutes of your time, then on you go
Tell tale of the men all dressed in black
That most of them, not coming back
Sent off to war to play (D minor) (A minor) little games
And on their return,
can't name no names
Some strange yellow gas has
(D minor) played with their minds (A minor)
Has reddened their eyes,
removed all the lies
And strange as it sounds,
death knows no bounds
How many get well?
Only time will tell (Asus2)
(A minor)
(Asus2) (A minor) (Asus2) (A minor)
Only time (Asus2) (A minor) will tell

Verse 2
You lie in your death bed now (A minor)
But what did you (C major) bring to the table?
(A minor) Brought us only holy sin
Utter trust is a (C major) deadly thing (A minor)
To the prayer of holy peace
We didn't know what was
(C major) lying underneath
(A minor) So how could we be such fools?
And to think that we thought you the answer
Verse 3
I can't begin (A minor) to understand in all the lies
But on your death bed,
I can see it in your eyes
Just as clear as all the sweat
upon your brow (D minor) (Esus4)
It really makes (A minor) sense,
I can see it clearly now
Verse 4
Tangled up in a web of lies (A minor)
Could have been a (C major) way
to (A minor) prophesize
Unaware of the consequence
Not aware of the (C major) secrets (A minor) that you kept
Nothing that we could believe
To reveal the facade (C major) of faceless (A minor) men
Not a thing that we could foresee
Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
Verse 5
You had us all (A minor) strung (D major) out
with (A minor) promises of peace
But all along,
your cover plan was to deceive
Can it put to rights now?
Only time will (D minor) tell (E minor)
(Esus4) Your prophecies (A minor) will send
us all to Hell as well
Left to all our (B minor) golden sons (G major)
Verse 6
(D minor)
All to pick up on the (A minor) peace
You could have given (B minor) all of (G major) them
(D minor) A little chance, at (A minor) least
Take the world to (B minor) better place (G major)
(D major) Given (D minor) them all just a little (A minor) hope
Just think what a (B minor) leg (G major) acy (A minor) you (D minor) now (A minor) will leave

(G major) (E minor) (C major) (B minor)
Verse 7
We seemed destined (G major) to live in fear
And some (E minor) that would say
Armaged (C major) don is near (B minor)
But where there's a (G major) life,
while there's hope
That (E minor) man won't self-destruct
Why (C major) (B minor) Why can't we
treat (G major) our fellow men
With (A minor) more respect and a shake (D major)
of their (A minor) hands? (B minor)
But anger and (G major) loathing is rife
The (A minor) death on all sides is be
(D major) coming a (A minor) way of (B minor) life
We live in (G major) an uncertain world
Fear, (A minor) understanding and (D major) ignorance
is lead (A minor) ing to death (B minor)
Only the corpses (G major) are left
(A minor) For vultures that prey on their bones (D major) (A minor)
Interlude 3
(B minor) (G major)
(Esus4) (E minor) (C major) (B minor)
(G major) (E minor) (Esus4) (E minor) (C major) (B minor)
Verse 8
But some are just (G major) not wanting peace
Their (A minor) whole life is death (D major) and misery (A minor) (B minor)
The only (G major) thing that they know
"Fight (A minor) fire with fire,
life is cheap" (D major) (A minor) (B minor)
But if they (G major) do stop to think
That (A minor) man is teetering (D major) right
on the brink (A major) (A minor) (B minor)
But do you think (G major) that they care?
They (A minor) benefit from death and pain an (D major) d des (A minor) pair
