Artist: Coheed And Cambria
[Prelude]
No, no, there is no time
Space between the Well & unknowing
Our story starts there
Well into our future, yet far beyond our past
In a romance between a pair of Unheavenly Creatur
The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy
These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of the Great Crash
Which brings us to our stage
Where the light must learn to love the black
The Dark Sentencer
It begins with them, but ends with me. Their son, Vaxus
[Bm] [G] [E]
[VERSE 1]
[Bm]Here, emotions behold
You've entered a Hell where the Devil is made of gold
[Bm]Please, don't run your mouth
The questions before have no place in this haunted house
[Bm]Reveal your selfish pleasure
One more time run for good measure
[Bm]In the answer you ho
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold
[D] [Bm]
[PRE-CHORUS]
[A]Here, where the li[D]ght o[G]nly dies to rememb[Bm]er
[D]In[Bm] a pl[A]ace where the bl[D]ind tr[G]uly can s[Bm]ee
[G]Hear my voice, dearly de[Bm]parted, I beg on my [D]kne[D/C#]es
[G]It's been my pleasu[Bm]re to serve your dis[D]ease [D/C#]
[CHORUS]
[G]Wel[A]com[Bm]e home (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
S[G]hed yo[A]ur s[Bm]kin and expose your bones (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Ta[G]ke m[A]y ha[Bm]nd (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And f[G]ol[A]low u[Bm]s into the black (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So far that we can't get back
[VERSE 2]
[Bm]Here, dig me a grave
And toss in the lives that you can't be bothered to save
[Bm]With their blood on your hands
You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand
[Bm]Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth
You fucking monster
[Bm]Here, as evil now gropes
It's caught us off guard with its hand reaching for our throats
[PRE-CHORUS]
[A]Here, where the li[D]ght o[G]nly dies to rememb[Bm]er
[D]In[Bm] a pl[A]ace where the bl[D]ind tr[G]uly can s[Bm]ee
[G]Hear my voice, dearly de[Bm]parted, I beg on my [D]kne[D/C#]es
[G]It's been my pleasu[Bm]re to serve your dis[D]ease [D/C#]
[CHORUS]
[G]Wel[A]com[Bm]e home (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
S[G]hed yo[A]ur s[Bm]kin and expose your bones (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Ta[G]ke m[A]y ha[Bm]nd (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And f[G]ol[A]low u[Bm]s into the black (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So far that we can't get back

[BRIDGE]
[Bm]There[F#]'s no tell[G]ing whe[E]n the tru[D]th is cle[E]ar, [F#]pay [G]it no mi[Bm]nd [F#] [G]
Li[E]nes were [D]drawn fo[E]r u[F#]s, f[G]or all si[Bm]des
I[Bm]n the afterglow, echoes of time unfold
G[Bm]ive me your word, my dear, and promise you won't let go
(heavily vocoded, indecipherable vocals)
[Bm] [A] [Bm]
[Bm] [G] [A]
[Bm]It's[A] a sh[Bm]ame, I fe[Bm]ar, for m[G]en to start [A]
W[Bm]e w[A]al[Bm]k their lines, a[A]ll to play the fucking part
[Bm]A sh[A]ame, [Bm]I fear, f[Bm]or men to[G] start [A]
[Bm]We [A]wa[Bm]lk their lines, [A]all to play the fucking part
I fe[G]ar we've got all we h[Bm]ad wanted
Clos[G]e your eyes and belie[Bm]ve it didn'[A]t happen
No[G]w shut your mouth beyond your l[Bm]ies
The world knows to stay away from you
In[G] the blood you let run, they march as you lead
We[Bm] laugh in the sun, maybe that's all we need
[Bm]I, an[Asus2/Bb]d I, and I'm [A]sorry [G]
You can't esc[G]ape
[PRE-CHORUS]
[A]Here, where the li[D]ght o[G]nly dies to rememb[Bm]er
