(Am C Em G Am C Bm7 D)

lyrics

I woke up to the ringing of the phone
Should have kept on sleeping but my dreams were overthrown
I placed the receiver to my ear
Welcome to hell there’s no way out of here
It seems I’m a lost endeavour
Screams haunt my dreams forever

I close my eyes with the compass in my hand
A quest to find my way back to slumber land
It occurs to me as I lie awake
That I just can’t wait for the madness to break
I’ve gotta take my fate into my own hands
Gotta overcome the failure of the best laid plans

There’s not enough bullets in the world to make this right
My finger’s on the trigger and the demon’s in my sights
All I have to do is squeeze
But I guess I’m not the man to bring you to your knees
I put the gun down this is not my game
A moral victory but defeat just the same

My bleeding god is two thousand years old
A long time ago but but still the story’s told
And the wound just keeps getting deeper every year
A slave to a god who thrives on fear
I no longer can believe I’m blessed
It’s time to lay this god to rest
