                   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 

Am 
                                           Dm 
Beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague 
                    E 
Said, 'I've lost my way' 
                                 Dm 
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 

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  Am 
I've defected
