Intro
[Am] [G] [F] [F] [C] [G]
Verse 1
The [Am]rains move [F]eastward in [G]waves of [C]succession
[Am]Drawing lines of [F]grey across the [E]sky
With [Am]history just as [F]close as a [G]hand on the [C]shoulder
In [Am]hunger and [F]impatience we [E]cry
The [Am]battle against [F]corruption [G]rages in each [C]corner
There [Am]must be something [F]better, something [E]pure
And the [Am]call it is [F]answered from the [G]caves to the [C]cities
Come the [Am]dealers of [F]Salvation on [E]Earth

Verse 2
We've [Am]seen the restless [F]children at the[G] head of the [C]columns
Come to [Am]purify the [F]future with the [E]arrogance of youth
[Am]Nothing is as [F]cruel as the [G]righteousness of [C]innocents
With [Am]automatic [F]weapons and a [E]gospel of the truth
Chorus
[E]Revolution for [D]ever, [C]succession of the [B]seasons
[C]Within the blood of [G]Nature, all [F]raised to rot and [E]die
This [F]purity, [E]purity is a lie

Verse 3
Now [Am]immaculate [F]conception in [G]sterilised [C]laboratories
[Am]How the [F]vanity goes [E]on
Or in the [Am]message of the [F]preacher with his [G]morals and [C]obsessions
The [Am]wars that we [F]wage upon [E]ourselves
[G]Purity is a virtue, [F]purity is an angel
[Am]Purity is for madmen to make [E]fools of us all
So [Am]forgive yourself my [F]friend, all [G]this will soon be [C]over
What [Am]happened here [F]tonight is [E]nothing at all
Chorus
[E]Revolution for [D]ever, [C]succession of the [B]seasons
[C]Within the blood of [G]Nature, all [F]raised to rot and [E]die
This [F]purity, [E]purity is a lie

[Am] [F] [E]
I will [Am]always see [F]Brendan at that [G]broken down [C]piano
His [Am]fingers thick and [F]red, [E]shaking on the keys
[Am]Battered by the [F]years of [G]alcohol and [C]working
Still [Am]playing with the [F]faith that never [E]leaves
So [Am]sit us down, [F]buy us a drink, [G]tell us a good [C]story
[Am]Sing us a [F]song we [E]know to be true
I [Am]don't give a [F]damn that I [G]never will be [C]worthy
[Am]Fear is the [F]only [E]enemy that I still know
