The Dear Hunter - The fire

For so l^Emong have my teeth held my t^Eongue from a venomous v^Amoice But the ^Empoison has passed from my ^Elips to my hands, an inc^Amendiary ploy (H^Emell will o^Epen up it's f^Amlue) I bare my soul through the flames before me (And ^Emyou will w^Eitness what t^Amhe fire can undo) ^{G D}

^CFar from the ash I will be born again ^{C D G} Where every debt is re^Cpaid ^{G G D}Nothing left to keep me out of paradise ^{Em D} As ^Cportraits of the past fade away

The ^Cid dots the eyes of a^Entiquity While the e^Fgo, of late, has held sw^Eay Too f^Amoolish to stray past the l^Eine too weary to ^Dmstay, too weary to s^Emtay ^{E Am}

Far too ^Emlong have I waited to wi^Etness the balances ^Ambend In the f^Emavor of wrongs being re^Emedied Wickedness c^Amoming to an end ^{G D}

^CFar from the ash I will be born again ^{C D G} Where every debt is re^Cpaid ^{G G D}Nothing left to keep me out of paradise ^{Em D} As p^Cortraits of the past fade away ^CFar beyond the act I will be whole again ^{C D G} A phoenix out of the f^Clame ^{G G} I'm b^Durying that menace in my memory ^{Em D} A f^Cuneral held in my name

The r^Citual pyre's sending s^Emoke to the sky As the b^Fuilding continues to b^Eurn The w^Amrath in the ruin, the p^Eain in the grave As the ^Dmlies are retired to the u^Ern

But we c^Can't keep the embers from c^Eatching The t^Fruth from destroying us ^Eall Do I ^Amdie as the martyr or m^Eiscreant? I'll make the c^Dmall, I'll make the c^Eall

^CFar from the ash I will be born again ^{C D G} Where every debt is re^Cpaid ^{G G D}Nothing left to keep me out of paradise ^{Em D} As p^Cortraits of the past fade away

^CFar beyond the act I will be whole again ^{C D G} A phoenix out of the f^Clame ^{G G} I'm b^Durying that menace in my memory ^{Em D} A f^Cuneral held in my name held in my ^Emname
