Am
Do you recall it's name
As it suggested beck and call
E
This face and heel
Will drag your halo through the mud
Am
Ash of Pompeii
Erupted in a statue's dust
E
Shrouded in veils
Because these handcuffs hurt too much
Dm Am
Still scalping this ticketless applause
Dm
And when they drag the lake
Am E Am
There's nothing left at all
Sutured contusion
Dm
Beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague
E
Said, "I've lost my way"
Dm
Even if this cul-de-sac would pay
Am
To reach inside a vault
E
Whatever be the cost
Sterling-clear blackened-ice
Dm
And when they drag the lake
Am E
There's nothing left at all
Am E Am E
I've defected
Am E Am E
I've defected
Am E Am E
I've defected
Am E Am E
I've defected
Am
Sutured contusion
Dm
Beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague
E
Said, "I've lost my way"
Dm
Even if this cul-de-sac would pay
Am
To reach inside a vault
E
Whatever be the cost
Sterling-clear blackened-ice
Dm
And when they drag the lake
Am E
There's nothing left at all
Am E Am E
I've defected
Am E Am E
I've defected
Am E Am E
I've defected
Am E Am E
I've defected

Beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague

Even if this cul-de-sac did pay
Beyond the anthills of
Am
Beyond the anthills of
E
Said, "I've lost my way"
Even if you
Even if you
Dm
Even if you
Am
Who reached inside a vault
E
Whatever be the cost
Sterling-clear Blackened-ice
Dm
And when they drag the lake
Am E
There's nothing left at all
