[Verse 1]
[Em]Across the veil in the womb of [G5]the d[Gm]ark,
[G5]A st[Em]ructure was built from bones[D#],
[D#5]
[E5]Bones [E]of the maniac[Em]al,
[G5]insane, and cynic,
[Gm]To s[Em]ilence their[E5] scr[Em]eam
[G5]s and [Eb]moans[Eb5],[Eb][Eb5]
[E5]Hous[E]ing [G5]the land's B- population,
Of [E]fungus and [F]filth they [D]were [D#5]born,
[E5]A place where they [E]can [Em]meet
and con[G5]gregate,
[Gm]Dwelling at ni[G5]ght,
[E]asl[E5]eep in the[D#] morn.

[Verse 2]
They would [D]dance,
and [D#]play [E5]and sing,
[D]Then [E5]frict[D]ions would violently[D#] grow,[E5]
[Em]Beat[D] each othe[D#]r even[E5] to the [E]deat[E5]h,
[D5]Rape [D]women like [D#]venomous [Em]whores.[E]

[Verse 3]
[D]Blood flows from bedlam walls,
[G]Sanc[D]tuary for the diseased,
Institu[D#]tion for [D]the demen[Bb]ted,
[G5][D]
Architectured for suf[D5]fer i[D]ng.

[Verse 4]
[D]No [D5]author[Em] ity [G5]regulates the premise,
[Gm]
[G5]The asylum [E]lives off of [G5]thei[E5]r pain[D#5],
[E5]Surroun[E]ded by sewer[Em]s,
[G5]miles from nowhere,
[G]Radiant[E] through the
[D]pitch- [F]black [D5]rain,[D#5]
[E5]As it st[E]oo[Em]d 100 [G5]years before,[Gm]
[Em]The buildi[E]ng still s[F5]tands today,
[D5][D#]
There's no [E5]place [G5]else the sick can go,
[Gm]
[Em]And [E]drift through life d[Em]ay b[D]y d[D#]ay.

[Verse 5]
So, [D]how do I tell [D#]do you a[E5]sk?
[D]Stories only the patients [D#5]there [E]keep,[E5]
[D]Well, I [D#]had escaped for [E5]I was not [D5]ill,
But [D]it still haunts me [D#]in my s[E5]leep,
[D][D5][D#]

[Interlude 3]

[D][D#]

[Verse 6]
[D]Blood flows from bedlam walls,
Sanctuary for the diseased,
Institution for the demen[A5]ted,
An[G5]d their [D]souls will never be free.
