The Dear Hunter – The Fire (Remains) Chords

GFor so long have my teeth held my
Dtongue from a venomous voice
EmBut the poison has passed from my lips to my hands
CAn incendiary ploy
G(Hell will open up it's flue)
DI bare my soul through the flames before me
Em(And you will witness what the Cfire can undo)
GFar from the ash I will be born again
DWhere every debt is repaid
EmNothing left to keep me out of paradise
CAs portraits of the past fade away
GThe id dots the eyes of antiquity
DWhile the ego, of late, has held sway
EmToo foolish to stray past the line
Ctoo weary to stay, too weary to stay
GFar too long have I waited to witness the balances bend
DIn the favor of wrongs being remedied
EmWickedness coming to an Cend
GFar from the ash I will be born again
DWhere every debt is repaid
EmNothing left to keep me out of paradise
CAs portraits of the past fade away
GFar beyond the act I will be whole again
DA phoenix out of the flame
EmI'm burying that menace in my memory
CA funeral held in my name
GThe ritual pyre's sending smoke to the sky
DAs the building continues to burn
EmThe wrath in the ruin, the pain in the grave
CAs the lies are retired to the urn
GBut we can't keep the embers from catching
DThe truth from destroying us all
EmDo I die as the martyr or miscreant?
CI'll make the call, I'll make the call
GFar from the ash I will be born again
DWe here every debt is repaid
EmNothing left to keep me out of paradise
CAs portraits of the past fade away
GFar beyond the act I will be whole again
DA phoenix out of the flame
EmI'm burying that menace in my memory
CA funeral held in my name
