[Intro]
GAm7GAm7 GAm7GAm7
C I'm closer to the Golden Dawn G Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery C I'm living in a silent film G Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal, drawing to the ragged hole
GEmC And I ain't got the power anymore CGAm7A7sus2A No I ain't got the power anymore
D I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes A I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny D I'm torn between the light and dark A Where others see their targets, divine symmetry F Should I kiss the viper's fang G Or herald loud the death of Man AF#mD I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought DA And I ain't got the power anymore
[BRIDGE]
AEF#m Don't believe in yourself D#dimE Don't deceive with belief EdimBm Knowledge comes with death's release D#dimA Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah F#mC#mE Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaaha
D I'm not a prophet or a stone age man A Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on D I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien A Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith F If I don't explain what you ought to know G You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo AF#mD I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought DA And I ain't got the power anymore
