Patience - A Song For The End

Fm Eb Ab Cm Puffed-up Powers in their spheres Fm Eb Ab G Lord their feats o’er other Fears Cm Fm Gm Cm Racing to reach crude frontiers Ab Fm Gm Cm Wasting all their plaything’s years Cm Fm Gm Cm Patience does not grace the petty Gm Gm I would know Cm Fm Gm Cm Let them peacock for a prize G G G* I won long ago Fm Cm Lightning may strike Gm Cm Sickness may catch Fm Cm Ab G Fire may rise from a discarded match Fm Cm Making their claims Gm Cm To each devotee Ab Cm G They promise what I alone can guarantee Fm Cm Gm Cm They seek new beginnings but all ends with me. Fm Eb Ab Cm None but I are truly old Fm Eb Ab G Ancient dread of warmth gone cold Cm Fm Gm Cm Mine’s the name all fear foretold Ab Fm Gm Cm Sentience spawned and I took hold Cm Fm Gm Cm Patience leads to better eating Gm Gm I would know Cm Fm Gm Cm Let them live out lengthened years G G G* I won long ago Fm Cm Silk may be spun Gm Cm Blackouts may cloak Fm Cm Ab G Troops may drink blood, or closing walls may choke Fm Cm Making their claims Gm Cm To each devotee Ab Cm G Empty temptations, off’ring certainty Fm Cm Gm Cm They take who they can but all will come to me. Fm Eb Ab Cm Humans often condescend Fm Eb Ab G Barking bluffs they can’t defend Cm Fm Gm Cm Banking treasures to contend Ab Fm Gm Cm With the fact they’ll meet their end. Pre-Chorus 3 Cm Fm Gm Cm Patience renders spite unneeded Gm Gm I would know Cm Fm Gm Cm Let them have their base denials G G G* I won long ago Fm Cm Skin may be flayed Gm Cm Stalkers may snare Fm Cm Ab G Hallways may lead to what was never there Fm Cm Wax works may grin Gm Cm Fog may press down Ab Cm G Arrogant pupils may demand their crown. Fm Cm Boasting of feasts Gm Cm But they must resign Ab Cm G To scraps ripped from any that don’t fit their design Fm Cm Gm Cm Death does not care with whom you do or don’t align Fm Cm Gm Cm The End never hungers: To have life marks you mine
