[C][Em][B]
[Em]Blotted skies

[Verse 1]
subdue stellar [C#m]cries
[Em]Bleeding out from the pillars[F#][Em]
Nebula of Aquila
You have served [F#]a killer[Em][F#][Em]

[Verse 2]
Time warps these hallowed [Em]grounds
As if to draw a line [C]in the sand
[Em]Time brings disdain for the [F#]weak[B]
[Em]Time is [B]what [C]I have[B]
[Em]With Reaper Squads still dispatching
You place your hopes on pil[Am]lars crashing
[B]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Time is a clock on the
[B]wall we com[Em]mand
And its [Am]hands made from [B]pillars of [Em]sand
On our watch,
we don't [B]seek what we [Em]find
Left bereft by the [B]passage [Em]of time

[C][B]
[Em]I

[Verse 4]
have built an em[C#m]pire
[Em]On the dust of A[F#5]lshain[Em]
Collection sails extract the
[C#m]Enocul[Em]es
From vast mines in [F#]space

[Verse 5]
[Em]And so, we live [B]as ageless
[Em]men[B][Em]
From the time the reaction
begin[D#5]s[C]
[Em]The dispenser is strapped to your [F#5]wrist[B]
[Em]You are shac[B]kled to my[C] every[Em] whim
You are enslaved by the
promise of tomorrow
You've paid the [B]price [Em]for the [Am]time that [B]you borr[Em]ow
[F#5][F#][Em][B][Em][G][Em][C#m][F#5][Em][B][Em]

[Verse 6]
[C]
[B]Tim[Em]e is a clock on the
wall we command
And [Am]its hands made
from pil[B]lars of [Em]sand
On our [Am]watch,
we don't [B]seek what we [Em]find
[Am]Left bereft by the [B]passage [Em]of time

[Verse 7]
[B]
[Am]Time moves like a crack [C]in glass
[B]Sometimes slow, sometimes fas[Em]t
[C]We all know the fate of the pane
[B]But we move forth, piling on more strain
[C]On the glass of

[Verse 8]
melted sand
[B]Forged by our greedy hands
On a [F#]path, [B]we choose to belie
[Em]It makes us feel[B] alive
[Em]Pillars

[Verse 9]
[B]of sand [D#m]fall d[B]own[G]
as [Em]gravity re[C]mands
The bones of the [B]dead in a dusty mist
[Em]Pillars [D#m]of sand [G]cannot [Em]as ce[C#m]nd
[Em]Such[C] are we at the point[B] of the obelis[Em]k
[B]As [Em]Reapers dock in the Cygnus Por[C#m]t
[Em]My eyes are captured by the pillars
[F#]Nebu[Em]la of Aquila[C#m]
[Em]Your skies have never been stiller
[F#][Em]

[Verse 10]
We have come upon the line
Where gravity intercepts [C]with time
[Em]Time is without mass
And cannot exist [C]in broken glass
[Em]The unrepentant nature of all
[B]Everything [G]fal[Am]ls[B]
[Em]Time is a clock

[Verse 11]
on the wall [B]we com[Em]mand
And its hands [Am]made from
pil[B]lars of [Em]sand
On our watch,
we don't [B]seek what we [Em]find
Left bereft by the passage [Em]of time
