He's a Amdrug, my reverend Chard Amdrug,
All seven Cof my Dmsins was Cfor Ehim

Now it's Ftoo late think the window passed me Amby
I sleep Fawake in my limbo state of Emind

Watched it Ambreak, break, break
OverCtake, take, take

Lay them Amlow, low, low
They don't Cknow, know, know
That you Fhad me lose conAmtrol
Almost Fhad meE, now you AmdonC'tAm C Dm C E

Stir up Amstorm and chaos
CNo Amnorm can save us Cfrom ourDmselves, Churting Espells

Into thFe war between reason and beAmlief
Of heaFling sores I've got nothing left to Ebleed
