Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[Bb][Am][Bb][Am]

[Verse 1]
Privileged, [Am]a chosen
few
Blessed with our time [F]in hell
[Am]Witness a divine vision,
the day we all fell [Dm]still
[Am]Rapture of the dying age
A shattered [Bb]hourglass
[Am]Wrath of the warring gods and so this too
shall pass
[Bb][Am][Bb][F][Bb]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
It's [Bb]only [Am]get [F]ting worse
Not [Dm]worth [Am]a mo[F]ment's r[Dm]e gr[Bb]et
[Am]Each dawn another curse,
[F]every breath a twist[Dm]ing [Am]blade[Dm][G5][Bb][Dm]
[F]What [Dm]will [Am]be l[F]eft behind in the
ashes [Am]of the [Em]wake?[Am]

[Verse 3]
An ill wind blows this [Am]way
The [C]edge of the en[Bb]velope [Am]burns
Forbearance and my vengeance
Payment [C]for you [Bb]in t[Am]ent
Fear and death in the wings
[C]In thrall of [Bb]those fallen [Am]from grace
Petty is as petty does
Witness [C]the [Bb]mass dis[Am]grace

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Fear and death in the wings
In thrall of those fallen from grace
Petty is as petty does
Witness the mass disgrace

[Verse 5]
God forbid you read [Am]the signs,
watch for meanings between the lines
Gehenna has now arrived,
no hindsight for the [Bb]blind[Am]
Your trust has been misplaced,
believed the lies told to your face
Became another casualty and now

[Interlude 1]
it's too late
[Bb][Am][Bb][Am]
[Bb]

[Verse 6]
[C]You final[Bb]ly made it hom[Am]e[Bb]
[C]Draped in the[Bb] flag that you fell[Am] for[Bb][C]

[Verse 7]
And [Bb]so i[Am]t goe[Bb]s
[C]It's ashes of [Am]the[Bb][Am]

[Interlude 2]
wake
[Am][Am][Bb][Am]

[Verse 8]
[Am]It's [Am]only [Am]getting worse[Bb][F]
[E][Am][Bb][F][Fm][E][Am][Bb]
[F]It's only gettin[E]g worse
It's [Am]only getting worse[Bb]
[F]It's only gettin[E]g worse
It's only getting [Am]worse
