[VERSE]
C#m D G# C#m
In a house where no one never sleeps

Lays a man who sees more with his eyes
D G#
Picturing the past before him
C#m B E
In a bed, alone, with clothes on
A
Paying for a service
F#m E B C#m D G# C#m B E
He doesn’t really need
C#m D G# C#m
With his eyes, he sees more love and lust

More tears, far too much to handle
C#m D G#
Can’t tell a soul, not this time
C#m
They’d lock him right up
A
Too much of burning bushes
F#m E B C#m D G# C#m B E
Too much for his weak soul
[PRE-CHORUS]

In his mind, oh so jaded

He’s gone too far behind

Of all the visions seen, this one makes him scream

He cannot live neither die in this world

Burning sensation inside, you know how that hurts?

Making up for the crimes of your life

With scythe as your sword

You must fight ‘till the end of time
