Words can stab as deep as night

And cut like a razored thorn
G
Bitter air and the?winds?of spite
G
Like the?cold of winter's scorn
C
Leaves may fall?on sleeping ground
C G
But the wind sweeps them away
D C
Like hurt lovers in the final round
G
What once was is now decayed
D C G
I can't go on, livin' alone now that you're gone

But history's made out of violence

After the war of the worlds has ceased
