Dm                       Am
  I've spent all of this time
                             Bb
A cauldron stirring hate despite
                           G
How every second I've been gone

Are seconds gone to waste
Dm                             Am
  But here you are, it's unexplained
                         Bb
It's what can only be my fate
                           G
We share a common point of view

I'm glad we can relate


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm                 Am
  All-powerful and pained
                   Bb
Par for the masquerade
                      G
What once was fueling rage

Is now part of the game
Dm                       Am
  My vision through your eyes
               Bb
Our coalescing minds
                  G
Have given me new life

And now their lives are mine


[Chorus]
Dm                                Am
  As blade and brawn clash in the dust
                      Bb
Of every brawl victorious
                           G
No rhyme or reason, just a smile

That's only growing wider
Dm                         Am
  Hundreds of voices cry above
                          Bb
Their pleading echoing at once
                                   G
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"

But I have brought their pyre

[Instrumental]
Dm Am Bb G

[Verse 2]
Dm                              Am
  You've faced monsters on your own
                           Bb
You've even stood before a throne

Maybe in other lives, you've
G
Held on despite everything
Dm                                 Am
  But here and now, you'll finally know
                              Bb
Just what it means to lose control
                                  G
Just what it's like to watch them burn

And never feel a thing


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm                 Am
All-knowing and so pained
                   Bb
Par for the masquerade
                    G
What once wanted to save

Has now become a slave
Dm                     Am
My vision through your eyes
               Bb
Our coalescing minds
                  G
Have given me new life

And now we intertwine

[Chorus]
Dm                                Am
  As blade and brawn clash in the dust
                      Bb
Of every brawl victorious
                           G
No rhyme or reason, just a smile

That's only growing wider
Dm                         Am
  Hundreds of voices cry above
                          Bb
Their pleading echoing at once
                                   G
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"

But I have brought their pyre


[Post-Chorus]
Dm
  No man can stop this wave
   Am
No beast is standing in my way
   Bb
No one below or in the sky
     G
Will be the one who's left alive
Dm                            Am
  Once full of mercy, full of love
                             Bb
You fear just what I have become
                            G
You know I'd walk a million miles

To set your world on fire

Dm Am

(Your world on fire)

Bb G

Dm Am Bb G

[Bridge]
   Am                               Bb
It seems we two have reached the absolute
        C                               Dm
There's nothing left to see, nothing to do
   Am                                Bb
We both have greater things we can pursue
  C                              Dm
I think it's time we moved to something new
Am                         Bb
Amusing, is not? How far you'll go
   C                               Dm
To keep this world from being left alone
    Am                                Bb
How you would face me here and tell me "no"
   C                           Dm
As if you were the one who had control


[Chorus]
Dm                                Am
  As blade and brawn clash in the dust
                      Bb
Of every brawl victorious
                           G
No rhyme or reason, just a smile

That's only growing wider
Dm                         Am
  Hundreds of voices cry above
                          Bb
Their pleading echoing at once
                                   G
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"

But I have brought their pyre


[Post-Chorus]
Dm
  No man can stop this wave
   Am
No beast is standing in my way
   Bb
No one below or in the sky
     G
Will be the one who's left alive
Dm                            Am
  Once full of mercy, full of love
                             Bb
You fear just what I have become
                            G
You know I'd walk a million miles
