[Verse 1: Sam Carter]
D#m
We’ve got a choice,
E G#m
But still we’d rather choose to suffer
D#m
‘Cause there’s no escape
E G#m Cm
Once the fuse is lit, locked in this pantheon
D#m E G#m
Swimming with concrete shoes
D# E
The reaper comes to take the best of you
G#m Cm
Can you see the writing on the wall?

[Chorus]
C#m ~ E ~ G#m ~ D#m ~
Impermanence… Impermanence
C#m ~ E ~ G#m ~
Impermanence…

[Verse 2: Sam Carter]
D#m E G#m
There is a subtle space that we’ll all discover
D#m
‘Cause there is a seat reserved for thе spirit
Cm
Passing through one by one

Riding a torpedo, wе wash away into the overflow
N.C.
Can you see the writing on the wall?

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
C#m
We’re barricaded
E G#
‘Cause nobody wants to meet their maker
G#m
The seeds are sown,
A
Then we die alone, we die alone
C#m C#m7 E
Eviscerated, we’re all players in a symphony
G#m D#m
That fights against impermanence
E C#m
Again and again and again and again and again

[Post-Chorus: Sam Carter]
C#m
Again and again and again

Do you really wanna live forever? OH…

[Verse 3: Sam Carter]
D#m E G#m
We are so lost staring into all the colour
D#m E
It hurts, but reality is counterfeit,
G#m Cm D#m
We came from the beyond
E G#m
Living a cameo…
D#m
One final breath and then we split in two
E G#m ~ N.C.
Can you see the writing on the wall?

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
C#m
We’re barricaded
E G#
‘Cause nobody wants to meet their maker
G#m
The seeds are sown,
A A7
Then we die alone, we die alone
C#m C#m7 E
Eviscerated, we’re all players in a symphony
G#m D#m
That fights against impermanence
E C#m
Again and again and again and again and again

[Breakdown: Winston McCall]
C#m
Even the doomed refuse, we were born to lose

Do you really wanna live forever?
N.C. C#m
’Cause those afraid to die will never truly live

They’ll never truly live

Even the doomed refuse, we were born to lose

Do you really wanna live forever?

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
C#m ~
We’re barricaded
E ~ G# ~
‘Cause nobody wants to meet their maker

The seeds are sown,
A ~ A7 ~
Then we die alone, we die alone
C#m C#m7 E
Eviscerated, we’re all players in a symphony
G#m D#m
That fights against impermanence
E
Again and again and again and again…

C#m C#m7
We’re barricaded
E G#
‘Cause nobody wants to meet their maker
G#m
The seeds are sown,
A
Then we die alone, we die alone
C#m C#m7 E
Eviscerated, we’re all players in a symphony
G#m D#m
That fights against impermanence
E C#m ~
Again and again and again and again and again
