Em
Bellows of pain

And scraping of chains
    D                       Em
The echoes they taunt and deceive me

Em
Oceans of blame

And rivers of shame
    D             Em
The fury it never leaves me


Em
Grief in the snow

The winter of woe
    D                        Em
Has come here to judge and bereave me

Em
Lock up the rage

It rattles the cage
    D             Em
The fury it never leaves me

[Instrumental] (with chant)
Em Em D Em (x2)

[Verse]
Em
Always within

To lurk in the skin
    D                     Em
The wounds ever aching so deeply

Em
Try as I may

To hide it away
    D             Em
The fury it never leaves me

[Chorus]
C                      Em
Long I've suffered the hunger
D                      A
Long I've silenced the cry
C                       Em
Long I've fled from the thunder
     D             Bm
To ascend, still I try

             Em
To carry the pain
              D               Em
To keep it contained till the end
             Em
To carry the pain
              D               Em
To keep it contained till the end

[Instrumental] (with chant)
Em Em D Em (x2)

[Bridge]
Em
Pour out the anger and hide it away
        D                          Em
Lest it spill to the blameless and lead them to pain
       Em
In the steel and the rags I will cover the shame
       D                    Em
So the innocent need not be judged in my name

Em
Pour out the anger and hide it away
        D                          Em
Lest it spill to the blameless and lead them to pain
       Em
In the steel and the rags I will cover the shame
       D                    Em
So the innocent need not be judged in my name

To ascend, still I try
