[Bb]
[Eb] I'm closer to the golden door, in my sting prowless uniform [Bb] of imagery.
[Eb] I'm living in a silent film, portraying in a sacred realm [Bb] of dream reality.
[F] [Gb] I'm frightened by the total [Ab] goal, I'm drawing to the ragged hole.
[Bb] And I ain't [F] got the [G]
power [Eb] anymore, no I ain't [Cm] got the power [Bb] anymore.
[Eb] I'm the twisted name on Galpo's eyes, I'm living proof of Churchill's lies.
[Bb] I'm destiny,
[Eb] I'm torn between the light and dark, where others see the target, [Bb] divine symmetry.
[Gb] Should I kiss the Viper's spine, [Ab] or herald loud the death of man?
[Bb] I'm sinking in [G] the quicksand of my [Eb] thoughts, and I ain't got [Cm] the power [Bb] anymore.
Don't [F] believe [G] in yourself, don't deceive with [F] belief, knowledge [G]
comes with [Cm] death's release.
[A]
[Bb] [Gm]
[Dm] [F]
[Eb] I'm not a prophet or a stone age man, just a model with potential of a [Bb] superman.
I'm living on,
[Eb] I'm tethered to logic of homo sapien.
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation [Bb] of bullshit faith.
[Gb] If I don't explain what you ought to know, [Ab] you can tell me all about it on the next Fido.
[Bb] I'm sinking in [G] the quicksand of my [Eb] thoughts, and I ain't got [Cm] the power [Bb] anymore.
