Pain of Salvation - Iter Impius

      [Intro]
Dm


[Verse 1]
Dm
I woke up today
F                            Dm
Expecting to find all that I sought
              Bb               Gm
And climb the mountains of the life I bought
Dm                 F                    Dm
Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy
      Bb               Gm
Unfortunately there is no one left
Dm
But me

Dm x4

[Verse 2]
Dm
I woke up today
F                                           Dm
To a world that's ground to dust, dirt and stone
        Bb             Gm
I'm the king upon this withering throne
Dm                    F                      Dm
I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea
                 Bb             Gm      Dm
Now there're but ruins left to rule for me
      Eb       Cm
And ? you see, it beckons me;


[Chorus 1]
Gm
Life turned its back on us
How could you just agree?
Dm
How? I just don't see ?

Dm x6

[Verse 3]
Dm
I woke up today
F                                 F
To a world devoid of forests and trees
           Bb           Gm
Drained of every ocean, every sea
           Dm                      F
Just like a useless brick upon the shore
The morning after the storm
Dm             Bb
That swept the bridge away
Gm          F
Relentless tide
Eb
No anger
Cm        D          Eb
Just this relentless time'
F             Eb
That calls us all on
But

[Chorus 2]
C         Eb            Gm
I'm never crossing that line
        D
Leaving this world behind
C       Eb        Gm
I will stay on my own
        Dm
On this bloodstained throne
C          Eb        Gm
I rule the ruins and wrecks
        D              C
And the dust, dirt and stone
       Eb           Gm          D
I rule rage rod and rattling of bones
