\beginverse
\[E] I finally \[A] broke into the \[E]prison
\[B] I found my place in the \[E]chain \[E7]
\[A] Even damnation is \[E]poisoned with \[Am]rainbows
\[E] All the brave young men
\[G#] They're waiting now to see a sig\[C#m]nal
Which some \[A]killer will be \[F#]lighting for \[B]pay \[B7]
\endverse
\beginchorus
\[A] Into this furnace I \[E]ask you now to \[Am]venture
\[E]You whom I \[B7]cannot be\[A]tray \[A E]
\endchorus
\begin{repeatedchords}
\beginverse
\[E] I fought in the \[A]old revo\[E]lution
\[B] On the side of the ghost and the \[E]King \[E7]
\[A] Of course I was very young and I \[E]thought that we were \[Am]winning
\[E] I can't pretend
\[G#] I still feel very much like sin\[C#m]ging
As they \[A]carry the \[F#]bodies a\[B]way \[B7]
\endverse
\beginverse
\[E] Lately you've \[A]started to \[E]stutter
\[B] As though you had nothing to \[E]say \[E7]
\[A] To all of my architects \[E]{let me} be \[Am]traitor
\[E] Now let me say
\[G#] I myself gave the or\[C#m]der
To \[A]sleep and to \[F#]search and to des\[B]troy \[B7]
\endverse
\beginverse
\[E] Yes, you who are \[A]broken by \[E]power
\[B] You who are absent all \[E]day \[E7]
\[A] You who are kings for the sake of your \[E]children's \[Am]story
\[E] The hand of your beggar
\[G#] Is burdened down with mo\[C#m]ney
The \[A]hand of your \[F#]lover is \[B]clay \[B7]
\endverse
\end{repeatedchords}
