Well the night's gone invisible

Smoke stacks on the paths of your skin

High noon in the garden of suicide

Up in the tower a hard fought victory 
                                 Am 
Down in the valley the carnage of sin

Spent shells on the pavement a hymn

False prize in the garden of paradise

Down in the valley the sound of artillery 
                                 Am 
Up on the mountain your rebel digs in 
                                   F 
But only then do you see it as certainty 
             Am
