lyrics
(I) (Em) when /
I was young the words would flow
and (D) put me in the zone
but to- (Bm7) day I just sit and stare
at a (Em) lonely microphone
I was / searching for the one who’d
(D) snuffed my voice inside
and I (A) found him in the mirror
but (Em) vengeance was denied
refrain: and I (A) prayed
like I (D) never prayed before
this (A) universe is flawed
I can’t (Em) take it any more
and (D) it get’s worse every day
I can’t (A) accept this price we pay
oh (Bm7) I scream words of sheer dismay
till (Em) I’ve got nothing left to say
(II) I asked / God for inspiration
and I (D) sadly tried to sing
he (Bm7) cupped his hands oer his ears
stripped an (Em) angel of her wings
there was / screaming in the distance
and (D) thunder in the sky
I (A) watched her plummet to the earth
with a (Em) teardrop in her eye
I em/barked upon a quest
to a- (D) wake the beast within
she was (Bm7) locked away, fast asleep
in a (Em) distant dungeon
I quickly slayed the guard
and (D) I unlocked the door
but the (A) beast just barely stirred
she was (Em) broken from the war
