This is from Demon Hunter's second album, "Summer of Darkness." I thought it would be nice for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics presented differently, so I worked up an acoustic version. I'll be posting my own recording of it on my profile if you want to actually hear how I play and sing it. I think my guitar's tuned down a half step, as well, just for reference. Here are some barred chords I reduced to give it a darker, more open sound between verses and on the bridge. Gbar F#bar Abar E|----0-----0-----0---| B|----0-----0-----0---| G|----0-----0-----0---| D|----5-----4-----7---| A|----5-----4-----7---| E|----3-----2-----5---| Verse:
In the nEmever-ending circle where the powerless meet There grows a struggle from the burden of sustaining defeat In the fCace of every coward lies the blindest of hate Am Em Gbar F#bar And in their eyes: a sharpened image of the damage they ma-ade You look at Emme to bear the burden of the suffering past It wasn't me behind the veil of a heartless mask And where were yCou the day that everybody cursed your name? Am Em Gbar You were the distant voice of pride that never stood the sha-ame
Prechorus:
The wEmeak of the mind will use fist, and the fGist of the frail will bring gun The lAmoudest of guns provoke bombs, and in wCrath he will chase 'til its done
Chorus: Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Gbar F#bar Your history is dead wrong. Dead. Philosophy is dead wrong. Dead. Wro-ong. Verse:
Within the mEmind of modern culture there's an idle cog It is the section of humanity that never forgot And in the mCidst of moving forward we have given the right Am Em Gbar F#bar To let the wolves attack the sheep and bury guilt inside I won't forgEmet the twisted picture of the filth that we were Or disregard the fading voices of the people we hurt But I was nCever pulling triggers or degrading your face Am Em Gbar Don't look at me to give the reason for the pain that you tra-ace
Prechorus:
The wEmeak of the mind will use fist, and the fGist of the frail will bring gun The lAmoudest of guns provoke bombs, and in wCrath he will chase 'til its done
Chorus:
Your history is dEmead wAmrong. DEmead. PhilAmosophy is dEmead wAmrong. DEmead. WAmrong. Your history is dEmead wAmrong. DEmead. PhilAmosophy is dEmead wAmrong. DEmead. WAmro-ong.
