[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][D]
[A][F#m][A][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I arrive in [D]the city
Where [A]they've unveiled a
[Em]bust of my predecessor
[G]Still much discus[A]sed[D]
We tried to forget him,
[A]his crimes were catalogued
[Em]But in the new circumstances
Once [G]again he's a [A]god

[Verse 2]
The [D]past isn't even [A]past
That's how [F#m]long i[A]t l[G]asts

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][F#m][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]I want them to fear me
[A]Like everyone feared him
[Em]Arrested and shot but [G]still they revered him[A]
[D]Like him I'll win
[A]I won't be eclipsed
[Em]I want men to die with my
[G]name on their [A]lips

[Verse 4]
The [D]past isn't even [A]past
That's how long it [G]lasts[D]
The past isn't even [A]past
That's how long it [G]lasts
[D]

[Verse 5]
[F#m]
I'm the living embodiment
Of [D]a h[G]eart of s[F#m]tone
A human monument [G]to
[F#m]testosterone
Though inside I'm dead
It's too [Em]late to [F#m]lose
I'm all they ever talk about
On their [G]news cycle of abuse

[Interlude 2]
[A][D][A][G]
I'm [D]there on your borders

[Verse 6]
[A]
Not gonna quit
[Em]To new world orders I will never[G] submit
[A]Cal[D]l me a warmonger and
I'll [A]give you a war
[Em]Say I'm a cheat and I'll still[G]
fake the score
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]
There's no defeat that I'll an[A]swer for
[Em]The West is effete and they're
[G]begging for [A]more
[D]I'll get it all back, the old[A] status quo[Em]
I remember how it was
And [G]I won't let it go

[Interlude 3]
[A][D][A]

[Verse 8]
That's how long it [G]lasts[D]
The past isn't even [A]past
That's how long it [G]lasts
