[Verse 1]
C#m C#sus2
This heart-pounding day has finally arrived
C#7sus2 C#m Bsus2
All my living footfalls sigh like the night
C#7sus2 C#m Bsus2
Outside the war between illusion and truth
C#7sus2 C#m Bsus2
I found wisdom lain among putrid fruit of
B7sus2 E F#
Desperation, cold, wild gift of youth

Urgent and dead-eyed

Urgent and dead-eyed

[Verse 2]
C#m C#sus2
In the blue mist death has finally closed in
C#7sus2 C#m Bsus2
All my gasping words at war with the wind
C#7sus2 C#m Bsus2
Worshipping the fear of hell left me lost
C#7sus2 C#m Bsus2
I’ve found something for us, souls who have crossed
B7sus2 E F#
Charon’s torrent cold spiked black with frost
B C#m E F#
Ashen and dead-eyed
A C#m E F# A
Ashen and dead-eyed

He’s my blood
B Amaj7 G#m7
Reflected in mud
C#m Emaj7
Leave my body
B Amaj7
Among the poppies

I’m nailed to your flaws
B Amaj7 C
You were my god
