Intro
[C#sus4/F#] [E] [A#7] [F#7] [C#sus4]
Verse 1
of smoldering fields, [D#m]rape, ruthering calls,
of graves neaten, trapped up in visions of war,
of nothing, no one, nobody, no more.
Verse 2
[E]He saw her in the skies [D]as she radiates.
[E]Full history's rivers of blood she [Bm]regenerates.
[E]And like the sun disappears, [Bm]only to reappear.
[E]She's eternally here.
Chorus
[Gm]The [E]time is near.
Never conquered but here.
Verse 3
[D] [Em] [A]
To kill, [E/B]lay it to gas.
[Dsus2/E] [D] [Em] [A] [B] [C#sus4]
Verse 4
And now she's got a quote on Dunny the Lent's thread
through suffiction, sold and shipped [D#m7]across the new line.
Amacetixin, ripping through denim, the point and inch
from a vein, a foreign approach, [F#]her steps now pounding the brain.
Verse 5
His presence terrifies and eclipses her days.
No man has to rest.
No [A#7]one was to pray and with a whisper he whips her soul,
chain it with will.
My job is to carry [D]if you forget to take your pill.
I'll just gather around and scream [E]as if in a dream.
Eyes on the crimson stream, numb as [Bm7]a wisp.
It's just a blood on the floor.
Chorus
[E7]I am nothing, [D][C#sus4]no one, nobody, no more.
Verse 6
He saw her in the [F#]skies as she radiates.
[E]And through her serene rivers of blood she [Bm7]regenerates.
[E]And like the sun disappears, [Fmaj7/E]solely [Gmaj7]to reap fear.
[E]Maria, she's eternally here.
Chorus
[G][E7]The time is near.
[Emaj7]Never conquered [E]but here.
Verse 7
[D][E]Ah, [G][A7]to take [E]away her to gas.
[D] [E] [G] [A7]
To tell where to rest.
Oh, [E/B]where to rest.
[D] [A] [G] [A7]
To tell where [E]to rest.
[Dsus2][D]Oh.
Verse 8
[Em] [G] [A] [E]
No man has to rest.
No man has to pray.
No man has to rest.
No woman's to pray.
No man is to rest.
Maria, she's eternally here.
She's no woman to pray.
Verse 9
[D7] [A7] [D] [D#m7] [Esus2] [Csus4] [D]
To [Fm]tell where [D#m]to rest.
