Song progression:
[Intro] x1
[Riff 1] x1 /w lyrics:
All that we can do is just survive.
[Riff 2] x1 /w lyrics:
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive.
[Am] [Riff 3] x2
[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:
G~
Ragged lines of ragged grey. Skeletons they shuffle away
G~ [Riff 3] x1
Shouting guards and smoking guns will cut down the unlucky ones.
(strum) A5 Em
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed.
[Riff 4] x1 /w lyrics:
A wound that will not heal. A heart that cannot feel.
(strum) Am Em
Hoping that the horror will recede.
[Riff 4] x1 /w lyrics:
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed.
[Riff 3] x2
[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:
G~
Sickness to insanity, prayer to profanity.
G~ [Riff 3] x1
Days and weeks and months go by. Don't feel the hunger too weak to cry.
(strum) A5 Em
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate.
[Riff 4] x1 /w lyrics:
Are the liberators here? Do I hope or do I fear?
(strum) Am Em
For my father and my brother it's too late,
F F F [Riff 1] x1
But I must help my mother stand up straight.
Repeat this part TWICE:
[Riff 1] x1 then [Riff 2] x1 /w lyrics:
Are we the last ones left alive? Are we the only human beings to survive?
Then go into the [Guitar Solo]:
Let the harmonics ring; notes with a '!' represent vibrato
instead of a held note; also use echo and a harmonizer set to a perfect
5th.
