No Capo G For so long have my teeth held my D tongue from a venomous voice Em But the poison has passed from my lips to my hands C An incendiary ploy
G (Hell will open up it's flue) D I bare my soul through the flames before me Em C (And you will witness what the fire can undo) G Far from the ash I will be born again D Where every debt is repaid Em Nothing left to keep me out of paradise C As portraits of the past fade away G The id dots the eyes of antiquity D While the ego, of late, has held sway Em Too foolish to stray past the line C too weary to stay, too weary to stay G Far too long have I waited to witness the balances bend D In the favor of wrongs being remedied Em C Wickedness coming to an end G Far from the ash I will be born again D Where every debt is repaid Em Nothing left to keep me out of paradise C As portraits of the past fade away
G Far beyond the act I will be whole again D A phoenix out of the flame Em I'm burying that menace in my memory C A funeral held in my name G The ritual pyre's sending smoke to the sky D As the building continues to burn Em The wrath in the ruin, the pain in the grave C As the lies are retired to the urn G But we can't keep the embers from catching D The truth from destroying us all Em Do I die as the martyr or miscreant? C I'll make the call, I'll make the call G Far from the ash I will be born again D We here every debt is repaid Em Nothing left to keep me out of paradise C As portraits of the past fade away G Far beyond the act I will be whole again D A phoenix out of the flame Em I'm burying that menace in my memory C A funeral held in my name
