The Fire Chords & Lyrics - The Dear Hunter

[VERSE 1]
For so l[Em]ong have my teeth held my t[E]ongue from a venomous v[Am]oice
But the [Em]poison has passed from my [E]lips to my hands, an inc[Am]endiary ploy
(H[Em]ell will o[E]pen up it's f[Am]lue) I bare my soul through the flames before me
(And [Em]you will w[E]itness what t[Am]he fire can undo) [G] [D]

[CHORUS]
[C]Far from the ash I will be born again [C] [D]
[G] Where every debt is re[C]paid [G] [G]
[D]Nothing left to keep me out of paradise [Em] [D]
As [C]portraits of the past fade away

[BRIDGE]
The [C]id dots the eyes of a[E]ntiquity
While the e[F]go, of late, has held sw[E]ay
Too f[Am]oolish to stray past the l[E]ine too weary to [Dm]stay, too weary to s[Em]tay [E] [Am]

[VERSE 2]
Far too [Em]long have I waited to wi[E]tness the balances [Am]bend
In the f[Em]avor of wrongs being re[E]medied
Wickedness c[Am]oming to an end [G] [D]

[CHORUS]
[C]Far from the ash I will be born again [C] [D]
[G] Where every debt is re[C]paid [G] [G]
[D]Nothing left to keep me out of paradise [Em] [D]
As p[C]ortraits of the past fade away
[C]Far beyond the act I will be whole again [C] [D]
[G] A phoenix out of the f[C]lame [G] [G]
I'm b[D]urying that menace in my memory [Em] [D]
A f[C]uneral held in my name

[VERSE 3]
The r[C]itual pyre's sending s[E]moke to the sky
As the b[F]uilding continues to b[E]urn
The w[Am]rath in the ruin, the p[E]ain in the grave
As the [Dm]lies are retired to the u[E]rn

[BRIDGE]
But we c[C]an't keep the embers from c[E]atching
The t[F]ruth from destroying us [E]all
Do I [Am]die as the martyr or m[E]iscreant?
I'll make the c[Dm]all, I'll make the c[E]all

[CHORUS]
[C]Far from the ash I will be born again [C] [D]
[G] Where every debt is re[C]paid [G] [G]
[D]Nothing left to keep me out of paradise [Em] [D]
As p[C]ortraits of the past fade away

[C]Far beyond the act I will be whole again [C] [D]
[G] A phoenix out of the f[C]lame [G] [G]
I'm b[D]urying that menace in my memory [Em] [D]
A f[C]uneral held in my name
held in my [Em]name
