INTRO Em-D-Em-G x2
Em D Am
Little child, did you throw the dice again?
Em D Am
Black and blue paint on your wall.
Em D Am
Didn't mama tell you that she loves you so?
Em D Am
Even if her bones are dry to hear you sing and cry.
(Do Intro Chords)
Em D Am
Attempting to please the world at
Em D Am
The age of seventeen.
Em D Am
You kill your babies and call it offering
Em D Am
The stench of truth: a life for a life, to be kind is to be unkind.
CHORUS
Em D Am
It took six sweet years of your life.
Em D Am
You walked alone along with your tea-cold-colored mind.
Em D Am
Subtly you pay the curse upon you,
Em D Am D
but a promise of the man seeps through earth, grave and stone.
Em D G D Em
You will seek Him with all your heart, soul and strength.
D G D
You'll count all the cost as you walk out the door.
Em D G D
Without a warning you'll set the world on fire! like it used to be
Em-G-D
Fire! (repeat)
(Do Intro Chords)
Em D Am
You're never appearing not to.
Em D Am
Emerging through unscathed.
Em D Am
Little god, you're cauterized by sin.
Em D Am
Comfortable and seem to gain the taste of a fatherless
(CHORUS)
