              Intro: Bb Ebm B Bb Ebm Bb B Bb Ebm Bb 
 
Verse 1: 
Bb   F Ebm    Gb      Bb       Ebm Bb 
Oceans rise, summits fall 
Bb     Ebm    Gb          Bb   Ebm 
Fading fast, it won?t be long 
Bb                    Ebm     Gb     Bb 
Everything will be consumed, rendered lost 
                Ebm     B        Bb        Gb 
At the hands of fools, tomorrow?s gone 
 
Bb 
So say goodbye 
 
 
 
Ebm           B                  Bb 
Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing 
        B              Bb 
Justify all that you consume 
              B              Bb 
Bleed it dry, what is this becoming? 
Ebm           B     Bb 
All your lies serve no one but you 
 
 
Verse 2: 
Bb    F    Ebm    Gb        Bb     Ab Ebm 
Blood ma---chines burn the skies 
Bb      Ebm Gb     Bb       Ebm 
Turning day into night 
Bb                           Ebm             Bb 
Everything will fade to dust again, weak or strong 
            Ebm  Gb             Bb         Gb 
So don?t pretend you?ve done no wrong 
 
  Bb 
Cause you know that I?m right 
 
 
 
Ebm           B                  Bb 
Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing 
        B              Bb 
Justify all that you consume 
              B              Bb 
Bleed it dry, what is this becoming? 
Ebm           B                Bb 
All your lies serve no one but you
