Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch
Windows in a silent room , sunlight burns the walls to black
ch]Am[/ch
Angles and dimensions melt while colors drip and pillows crack
ch]Bm[/ch
Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The ribbon film of separate frames lying curled up at my feet
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
The film is just a snake design and the photographs are fading fast
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
These are not memories of mine I have no future, no past
ch]D[/ch
I've seen a thousand afternoons dissolve into the night
ch]D[/ch
Like sugar crystals on a spoon they disappear from sight
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Gray days from the crispest morning to the warmest afternoon in this room
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I like to draw the face I saw so long ago
ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
My image in the mirror tells the jagged lines which way to go
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
The black and white description of the sole survivor of the Holocaust
ch]G[/ch
All the rest were lost
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch
Do you see this paper face? It has no color or no mood
ch]Am[/ch
My eyes are ageless, as am I. I need no sleep, I need no food
ch]Bm[/ch
I am a king, but like a child the other children laugh at me
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Tongues of fire, wagging wild they dance around me merrily
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch
I'll kill them all and if I fail I'll kill whoever I can find
ch]F[/ch
Then they'll beg me to be kind
ch]D[/ch
My eyes have seen far more than eyes can ever tell
ch]D[/ch
This planet plunged through mushroom fires of earthly hell
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
I know that my sweet Jesus said that he'd return
ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But Babylon has fallen and the cities burn
