Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bm | - | F# | - |
| G  | - | F# | - |

[Bridge]
| Bm | - | F# | - |

| Bm | - | F# | - |
| G  | - | F# | - |

[Verse 1]
Bm
  They started the last rites
    F#
The earth has opened wide
G
 I can hear my mother's voice
D                         F#
Time for me to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Bm
  I never learned how to love
      F#
Those drugs weren't meant for healing
G
 I just gave for the sake of taking
    D                  F#
Now God will swallow me

[Bridge]
| Bm | - | F# | - |
| G  | - | F# | - |

[Verse 3]
Bm
  Now I hear the children chanting
        F#
And the widows want to eat
G
 I think they've helped themselves
         D                F#
To enough of my bad dreams

[Verse 4]
Bm
  Lay your head against my heart
F#
  Can you feel me fading?
    G
The first burial that I've been to
D                      F#
Tell the abyss to stop staring at me

[Chorus]
Bm
  The greater the star
         F#
The more violent its demise
G
Maybe it was forced attrition
         F#
When you pray you cannot lie
Bm
  The greater the star
         F#
The more violent its demise
G
Maybe it was forced attrition
         F#
When you pray you cannot lie

[Interlude 1]
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below

[Interlude 2]
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below

[Chorus]
Bm G Bm G
F#
Bm
  The greater the star
         G
The more violent its demise
Bm
Maybe it was forced attrition
         G                  F#
When you pray you cannot lie
Bm
  The greater the star
         G
The more violent its demise
Bm
Maybe it was forced attrition
         G                  F#
When you pray you cannot lie

Mother can't mourn me
F#
Father won't win my fights
G                               D
 I'm dressed in my mortuary best
             F#
I'm ready for  my ride
Bm                              F#
  The blood of the co venant is thicker than the water of
the womb
G                                   D                   F# Bm
 They're waiting with open arms for me to join them soon
