[Intro]
Em Am Em Am
Em Am A
[Verse 1]
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
This unhappiness goes on and on
Em
I enjoy the nothingness
C A
But is it the emptiness I seek?
[Verse 2]
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
I know there's something else going on
Em
I enjoy the emptiness
C A
But is it the deep state I seek?
[Verse 3]
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
I feel their guesses are all wrong
Em
I enjoy the nothingness
C A
But does the dance of life grow weak?
[Verse 4]
Em
If everything matters (Nothing matters at all!)
C
Nothing matters at all
Em
We're in the drop zone
C
We're ready for the fall
Em
He who loves not
C A
Is better than to have loved not at all?
[Verse 5]
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
I feel their aim is all wrong
Em
I've heard the perverted
C A
Preach to the converted for far too long
A
Far too long (I'm converted)
[Chorus]
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
The deep state goes on and on
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
A
The sleep state goes on and on
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
The deep state goes on and on
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
A
The sleep state goes on and on
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
The deep state goes on and on
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
A*
The sleep state goes on and on
Em C
To shoot a valkyrie, to shoot a swan
Em C
The deep state goes on and on
