Lyrics

[Intro]
Abm
Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes,
I see those brittle bones
But we're buried by modern misery
Modern misery
                   Fb
There's not enough water in the world
Eb
  To wash the blood from our hands

[Verse 1]
Abm
   We planted a seed,
its roots will suffocate the soul
It grows without light and feeds from our bones
Hell must be empty,
all the devils are here
Singing us the Lord's Prayer; finally,
Fb            Eb            Abm
something that  we all share

[Pre-Chorus]
                       Gb
I won't go to the grave  with the song still in me

[Chorus]
Fb                         Gb
  What are we hiding in the  rain?
                         Abm
This is a prison for lost   souls
                              Gb
Another life circles the drain
We used to run with the wolves
Fb                       Gb
  Now we can't see the forest
                                    Abm
'Cause there's no light in the black   hole
                                    Gb
Don't try and tell me we are blessed
We used to run with the wolves

[Verse 2]
Abm
   Are these our new messiahs?
'Cause the saviour has a gun to my head
Don't be fooled by Maya,
the kings are all thieves
And the serpents will bite as they please
Fb         Eb           Fb
How has it come to this?

[Pre-Chorus]
                       Gb
I won't go to the grave  with the song still in me
Abm                             Gb
   And I won't live like a slave  begging from my knees

[Chorus]
Fb                         Gb
  What are we hiding in the  rain?
                         Abm
This is a prison for lost   souls

'Cause there's no light in the black   hole
                                    Gb
Don't try and tell me we are blessed
We used to run with the wolves

[Interlude]
Abm
   Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes,
I see those brittle bones
But we're buried by modern misery
Modern misery
I won't live like a slave,
I won't beg from my knees

I will not go to the grave with the song still in me
