Beyond The Pale

E
Reanimated, I awake awaiting
                     A
Mistakes I shouldn't make
Born of bonds
B  E
 I wouldn't place, had I the choice
                                     A
On loyal limbs that dance these melodies
From your voice

[Chorus]
B   E
 If you demand I fall
            D                E
How will I evolve beyond the pale
A  A/B  C D  E
Of your holy scrawl?

[Verse 2]
   E
It begs the question of intent to know
                           A
Or just observe your sycophants' deference
B     E
 Have we inherited the flaws of fumbling gods
                              A
Too small to stumble on their own
          B
Who never grow

[Chorus]
   E
If you demand we fall
             D                E
How will we evolve beyond the pale
A  A/B  C D  E
Of your holy sprawl?

[Ending]
            D
What do you say to the suppliant ewe
                                E7
Suffering for little more than show?
               D
What will you find as you blindly grind
                                 E7
The gears of your invention to a halt?
            D
What better way to know the places you won't go
                                  E7
Than recognizing where we haven't been
            D
Finding our faults lie

That none can answer why
                            G#m
We never move from where we began

B     C    D   E
Still standing still
B    C  D    E
Bent to your will
B      C    D    E
Flawed like you
