[C]
[A] [E] The rainbow's longer every night The neon glows a [Em] [C] lullaby
And it's all in, all in [A] without right
[Em]
Corruption intertwined with greed Performing is a changing [C] breed
But I want it, I want it [Am] to be free
A [Em]
system of the [D] absolutes
To strive to keep the people new [C] And we will all move [Am] along
[Em] Somewhere it's a different show There'll [D] be ignition, stars can [C] glow
But we know, they sing a [A] brand new song
Now [C]
from [Am] the shadows I can see [E] their light
The monsters [F] shine on the world's [C] last night
Trapped in [A] the veil, I've [Em] only heard [E] their cries
The [F] city's chanting their last reprise
[E] [A] Some [E] [C]
[A] [E]
sections of an institute The work of [Em] bureaucratic [C] groups
They're trying, trying to [A] save face
[Em] But citizens of darkened times Have learned to question better lives
[C] For the running, running [A] out of space
[Em] But maybe this will last for years on When [D] our resources come up [C] short
A light on the horizon [Am] shines all the blue
[Em] The city's in a distant [D] slave A [Em] sanctuary left [D] in gloom
[C]
Resistance to ignite into [Am] a glow
[Em] Now [C]
from [A] the shadows I can see [E] their light
The monsters [Dm] shine on the [F] world's [C] last night
Trapped in the veil, [A] I've [Em] only heard [E] their cries
