||INTRO|| 
G Am G Am G Am G Am 
    
     C 
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn  
Immersed in Crowley's uniform  
G 
Of imagery  
    C 
I'm living in a silent film  
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm  
           G     /  Gsus4 / G  / G 
Of dream reality  
     Cm 
I'm frightened by the total goal  
F2 
Drawing to the ragged hole  
     G              Em       C 
And I ain't got the power anymore  
                              G Am   Asus2  A   
No I ain't got the power anymore  
 
 
 
       D 
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes  
Living proof of Churchill's lies  
     A  
I'm destiny  
    D 
I'm torn between the light and dark  
Where others see their targets  
   A 
Divine symmetry  
  F 
Should I kiss the viper's fang  
  G 
Or herald loud the death of Man  
  A               F#m7         Em7         D 
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought  
     D       Dsus2           A 
And I ain't got the power anymore  
 
 
 
         E7        C#7     F#m7 
Don't believe in your-    self  
             Cdim             E 
Don't deceive       with belief  
                C#dim                Bm7 
Knowledge comes   with death's release  
   Cdim           A         F#m7          E7       E 
Ah------------------ Ah-------------------Ah----------
 
 
          D  
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man  
Just a mortal with the potential of a superman  
    A         A11    A
I'm living on  
    D 
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien  
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation  
    A             A11     A
Of bullshit faith  
       F 
If I don't explain what you ought to know  
        G 
You can tell me all about it  
On the next Bardo  
    A                F#m7                D 
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought  
      D          Dsus2         A 
And I ain't got the power anymore  
 

        E7        C#7     F#m7 
Don't believe in your-    self  
             Cdim             E 
Don't deceive       with belief  
                C#dim                Bm7 
Knowledge comes   with death's release  
   Cdim           A         F#m7          E7       E 
Ah------------------ Ah-------------------Ah----------
  

A        E7        C#7     F#m7 
Don't believe in your-    self  
             Cdim             E 
Don't deceive       with belief  
                C#dim                Bm7 
Knowledge comes   with death's release  
   Cdim           A         F#m7          E7       E 
Ah------------------ Ah-------------------Ah---------- 
 

||Repeat the same chords but without lyrics until song fades|| 
 
 
 the tricky chords that I've changed and used are 
 
       E A D G B E
 C#7 = X 4 6 4 6 4
Cdim = X X 1 2 1 2
C#dim= X X 2 3 2 3

 All the F#m's should be played with the 7th as with the Bm's


Thats it... Enjoy... I recommend you to hear both versions...listen to the song for timing.
