Capo on 3d

C		Em
Cruel, cruel 	grounds 
C			Em
Leak truths never 	found
F		C 
Torturous 	ways 
F			C
Whisper from the 	grave 
F		C		G
A slow spun 	song of distortion 

C		Em
Bitter, bitter 	mouth 
C			Em
Spitin' out seeds of 	doubt 
F		C
Rituals seek 	root 
F			C
Razed before they're 	told 
F			C		G
Stories break like 	branches in the cold 

Am		Em		Am	Em		G
Seasons 	trial finds 	man's 	mistakes fair game 

Am Em

C		Em
Careless 	hand 
C			Em
Lay and law of the 	land 
F		C
Falls by the 	side 
F			C
Silenced sentient 	cries
F		C 		G
All within the 	lines of 	divine right 

Am	Em		Am	Em	G
Better bury the tracks in an unclosed case
 Am		Em		Am	Em	G		Am
Weeds of discontent choke a broken ghost landscape 

F C
Cruel, heartless reign 
F C
Chasing short term gains 
F C			G
Right down to the warning signs 


F C
Birds refuse to fly 
F C
No longer trust the sky 
F C			G
Drifting out beyond the signals 

Even the horizon is gone 
Weather flees underground 
Future's left to wallow in fortune's waste
