[C5][A5][E5][Eb5][A5][Eb5][A5]

[Verse 1]
[A5]Pushing forth, chasing [E]fantas[C5]ies
That justify euphoric dreams.
[A5]Seeking better than [E]I have
[A5]ever seen.
[E]The pristine [Eb5]city i[A5]n the crystal
[C5]Sea where the faultless
[A5]dwell[G].[A5]
There is a storm des[E5]cend[C5]ing,
in a not so perfect [A5]world,
Not so [E]perfect [G]after [C5]all.[A5]
There is a [Eb5]storm descending,
[C5]In a not s[E5]o perf[A5]ect world,
not so [E]perfect [E5]af te[G]r all.[C5][A5][B][C5]
[A5]Here they are!
[G]People screaming [E]as the [G]towers
[A5]crumble [Am]down.[G]
[A5]Romance stifling is the stor[G]m.
Lightning [E5]over[G]head d[A5]is playing
what we'll never con[F5]trol.[G][A5][G]
[E]Is [E5]this the [F5]be st that t[G]hey have f[A5]ound?
Per[G]fection [F5]within the walls
that [A5]crumbled [G]down?
[E]Is [E5]this the [F5]be st that
they have [A5]found?
[G]Perfection within [F5]the walls that
[G]crumbled [A5]down?[C5][Eb5]
[A5]With need to suffer,
The [F5]need [A5]for despair
to break down the common
[G#5]Bond b[Eb5]etween[A5]
the man and this ancient earth.
The [C5]search [G#5]for ou[A5]r own perfect son.[Eb5]
[A5]Lightning strikes the cloc[E]k at the cente[Eb5]r
Of the [C5]town just as the Isle of
[G]Atlas [F#5]invaded.
[Bb5]With e[A5]ach strike the elders wince,[Eb5]
Their faults [C5]exposed to
a swarm of angry [F#5]nomads.
[A5]So the s[B]cholars moved to s[Eb5]ay,
that this [B5]city [C5]can't [Eb5]fall..[E5].[Eb5][E][B][F#5][A5]
The [B5]scholars moved to [Eb5]say,
[G]That this [E5]city [Eb5]can't fall into [B]hell...[B5][A5][E5][Eb5][E5][E][B][B5][B][A5][E][Eb5][A5][G][Eb5]
[G][C5]
[B][F#5][Eb5][A5][C5][B5][Eb5][G][E][Eb5][A5][B][C5][B][A5][B][Eb5][G]
[Eb5][C5][Eb5][B][C5][E5][E]
[A5]If this was the perfect land,
The depravity
I've viewed within [Eb5]can't [A5]bridge
The gap to justify my actions
in [B5]this [A5]journey.
A storm reveals the hell
that dwells within
A faulted pretense. Hearing from
the [E]heart...[A5]
Hearing [B]from [G#5]the heart of a
[C5]broken perfect [A5]man,
Claiming the [Eb5]buildings were con
[G#5]structed [C5]on th[A5]e sand.
And the land was never fer[G#5]tile,
The [C5]walkways nev[A5]er gold,
his eye[B5]s sli[B]pp[Eb5]ing away.[G#5][C5][A5][G]
[E]Is this the[F5] best that they hav[A5]e found?
Per[C5]fec t[G]ion with[F5]in the walls
that [G]crumbled [A5]down?[G]
[E]Is this the[F5] best that they hav[A5]e found?
Perfec[G]tion with[F5]in the wa[F]lls th[F5]at
[G]crumbled down?
[A5][B][D][C5][F5][G]
