E7 (with Riff 2)
When the sky is gray
And the moon is hate
I'll be down to get you.
Roots of earth will shake.
Chorus:
C E7
Sinister Purpose
C E7
Knocking at your door;
C E7
Come and take my hand. into Riff 1
Burn away the goodness;
You and I remain.
Did you see the last war?
Well, here I am again.
