[G] [Am] [G] [Am]
[G] [Am] [G] [Am]
[C] I'm closer to the golden dawn immersed in Crowler's uniform [G] of imagery.
I'm [C] living in a silent film portraying Himmler's sacred [G] realm of dream reality.
[Gm] I'm [D#] frightened by the total [F] gulf drawing to the ragged [G] hull.
And I ain't [E] got the power [C] anymore.
No, I ain't got the power [G] anymore.
[Am]
[A] [D] I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes, living proof of Churchill's lies.
[A] I'm destiny.
[D] I'm torn between the light and dark, where others see their target, [A] divine symmetry.
[F] Should I kiss the vipers' fangs [G] or herald loud the death of man?
[A] I'm sinking [D] [F#m] in the [Em] quicksand [D] of my thought.
And I ain't got the power [A] anymore.
Don't [E] deceive [F#m] yourself.
[A] Don't [F#] deceive [E] when belief.
[G] Knowledge comes [Bm] when deaths release.
[A] [G#] [A] [F#m] [E]
I'm [D] not a prophet or a stone-aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman.
[A] I'm living on, [D] I tether to the logic of homo sapiens
Can't take my eyes from the great [A] salvation of bullshit play
If [F] I don't explain what you ought to know
[G] You can tell me all about it on the next bar [A] though
I'm sinking [F#m] in the [G] quicksand of [D] my thoughts
And I ain't got the power [A] anymore
Don't [E] believe [F] in [A] yourself
Don't conceal with [E] belief
[G] Knowledge comes with [Bm] death's release
[A] Ah, ah, ah, [A] ah, ah, ah
[F#m] [E]
[A] [E] Don't believe [F#m] in yourself
[F#] Don't forsee [E] it with belief, [G] knowledge comes [Bm] with death's release.
[A] Ah, ah, [A] ah, ah, ah, [F#m] ah, ah, ah.
