this is from demon hunter’s second album , “summer of darkness . ” i was
trying to learn it on this site when i realized the chords in the chorus
were actually really easy , so i tried making the rest of it into an
acoustic song . . . and this is what i came up with . i thought it would be nice
for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics presented differently .
i’ll be posting my own recording of it on my profile if you want to
actually hear how i play and sing it . i think my guitar’s tuned down a half
step , as well , just for reference .
here are some funky chords i use in the first and second choruses and the
tag . . . all other chords are either normal chords or power chords exactly as
written .

verse :
Em C Em D
behind the eyes of my compassion lies a suffering soul
Em C Em D
and in my blood a bitter darkness slowly taking its toll
Em C Em
i feel the death of our connection and the fading of light
C D
between the shards of sudden panic from choking on my life
Em C Em D
i see the scars of your addiction and the feeling you hide
Em C Em D
a blackened heart from all the hatred you will never rewind
Em C Em
within the depths of your depression hear you pleading for help
C D
you’re just a shell of vacant ruin , a portrait of myself

verse :
Em C Em D

a swelling plague from every devastating voice that you hear

another day in your delusion , the never – ending death
