[Em]
[G] [Em]
How the past is untrue
And this breath is alive
[G] And the [Em] sun's unemptiness
Burns through the sky
And this ground will slide down
Into the sea
[G] And when [Bm] this body [Em]
dies
Man will breathe one [A] [Em] word
[A]
[Em] Of [Am] [Em] ignorance
[A]
[Bm] Amen
[G]
[Bm] Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh
[G] Ooh, [Bm] ah, ooh, ah, [G] ooh
Ooh, [Bm] ah, ooh, ah, [G] ooh
[D] So burn [C] your trust
[Em] Beneath the ground of me
And
[D] lay [C] your lungs down
[Em] For the sun to consume [G] The moon
[Em]
[G] [Em] Now the earth breathes cold [G] water
With my [Em] openness
But my body's made poison
So I know the sound
[G] And [Em] we'll watch the river
We'll die of thirst
[G] And our fate [Em] it's no question
[G] [Em] If only it's broken beneath the sand
[A] Unholy
[D]
[Bm] [F#m] Christ
[G]
[Bm] Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh
[G] So [D] burn [C] your love
Beneath [Em] the ground of me
And
[D] lay [C] your lungs down
[Em] For the sun to burn To [Bm] set
[G]
[Bm] Unholy
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, [G]
[Bm] ooh
Ooh, ah, [G] ooh, [Bm] ah, ooh
[G]
[Bm] Ooh, ah, [G]
