Verse 1:
 
     G#m                      D#               E 
This phalanx that we are with hearts up on our shields 
       G#m 
We are holding 
            E   C#m 
But not for long 
G#m                     D#            B 
One by one we fall only here to rise again 
             F#    E    G#m 
In fields of armor we remain 
      B    F#                      E       B    D# 
Our bodies twisted by the words we can't explain 

Verse 2:
 
G#m                                 D#              E 
Bloody knuckles stain the walls and poison fills my lungs 
       G#m                       E      C#m 
As the beauty of your voice cuts me down 
    G#m                                   D#             B 
And though we weave in motion through the passing of our days 
         F# 
We are devotion 
   E       G#m 
We are the pain 
   B   F# 
We are beauty 
     E       B   D# 
That lost its way 


G#m              E 
Broken hearts we sing along to 
    B              F# E 
The hymns of our devotion 
   G#m                E 
We gave it all and we lost our minds 
         B             F# 
We don't need to be forgiven 



Verse 3:
E B          F#             G#m 
   It's like falling on our swords 
E B         C#m       D# 
   Just for taking a stand 
E B         B          G#m 
   It's the journey of love 
E B           C#m         D#m G#m 
   That we'll never understand 

Bridge:
E                          B 
Beauty in our union like a fire in the void 
    F#                       G#m 
Serenading the hopeless like passing of days 
E                            B 
Through it all we knew we'd stand like the brave 
     F# 
No beginning No end 
          G#m 
With Like names old as days

     G#m 
With bloody knives 
    E 
And razor blades 
   B             F# 
We die for our devotion 
   G#m 
We gave it all 
   E 
We lost our minds 
         B             F# E 
We don't need to be forgiven
