Guitar 1 and Lyrics:

Rhythm 1:

E (Eye of Taifun Rhythm and palm muted)

The road of distant thunder breaks.

The afternoon our silence wakes.

They hurry through from ?peat to gate?

as if they know this dance.

Rhythm 2:

C (Barre chords no muting)

In fury blind I drive at night

across the moors, the open roads

beneath the freezing starry skies

racing in some trance

(keep repeating Rhy 2)

These cities are illusions of

some triumph over nature's laws

We've seen the iron carcass rust

and buildings topple into dust.

And as the waters rise it seems

we came to overlook these things.

?They crystallize? technology

while spirits scream and sing

Rhythm 3:

(Em and Am are open G and C are barre)

Em / Am / G / C (one chord per repetition)

"Oh God, I love the world!" x8

Rhy 1.

What I never feared was a clever man

but I know enough to understand

that the endless leaps, the forward plans

will someday have to cease.

You blind yourselves with comfort lies

like "lightning never strikes here twice",

and you laugh at your amaze, surprise

as the ark begins to sink.

Rhy 2.

This temple that is built so well

will seperate us from ourselves.

it's a power grown beyond control,

a will without a face.

And watching from outside I wish

that I could wash my hands of this

but we are locked together here,

this bittersweet embrace:

Rhy 3

"Oh God, I love the world!" x8

(Repeat again)

And one day the final fire

explodes across the whitened sky.

I know you've said you'd rather die

and make it over fast.

With courage from your bravest friends

waiting outside for the end

with no bitterness, but an innocence

that I can't seem to grasp,

I know somehow I will survive

this fury just to stay alive

so drunk with sickness, weak with pain,

I can walk the hills again.

?This god is smiling, dying slow

I scream to no one left to toll.?

I told you so! x3

"I love the world!" x5
