What we are witnessing is the decline of western civilization 
Dm                                                          G 
Crushing our potential and piling it on, how will history portray us? 
Dm                  Bb 
Attack the family, attack their faith and dreams

Attack the body and the head will fall

Dm                                                            Em 
Another day, another manufactured crisis keeping the people distracted 
Dm                                                             G 
There's no one playing by the rules anymore, how will history portray us? 
Dm                 Bb 
A broken backbone with nothing left to lose? 
Bdim                            Bb              Am 
That hate the sight of all the ones that do?

Bridge 
Gm            Eb            Dm 
A shiny new agenda, birthed from a depraved mind 
   Gm              Eb     Bb  Am             G#7 
Of failing us on purpose, to culturally sanitize 
     Gm              Eb            Dm 
Its opiates for the masses under cloak as hope and change 
         Gm          Eb       Bb     Am       G#7 
The 'new normal' or just more of the same?

Bridge 2 
Dm 
The perfect plan 
Must have an alibi 
Dm 
And the perfect pawn 
To spew the party line 
Dm 
Of the perfect falsehood 
Spoke a thousand times 
Dm 
The perfect words 
Cover the greatest crime 

Break 
(Repeat) 
|Dm 

Outro 
Dm   Am      Eb             Dm 
Hell     is turning itself inside out 
Am                       Dm 
To lead its path up to meet us 
          Dm 
And we deliberately take 
Bb      Am        Gm            Dm 
A step, one foot closer to the grave 
Dm 
TO THE GRAVE
