No mat-ter what we breed We still are made of greed

This is my king-dom come This is my king-dom come
G Am

Don't get too close It's dark in-side

It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide
C G
2. At the cur-tain's call Is the last of all

When the lights fade out All the sin-ners crawl

So they dug your grave And the mas-que-rade

Will come ca-lling out At the mess you made

Bridge: They say it's what you make I say it's up to fate

It's wo-ven in my soul I need to let you go

Your eyes they shine so bright I want to save that life

I can't es-cape this now Un-less you show me how
G Am
