G       Em      D    C     G 
These arterial road ways 
Em      D           C             G 
Carry empathy in differently 
   Em                 D          C       G 
From a heart made to break the scale 
Em        D         C 
To its unfeeling extremities 
 
  
     Em                              G 
In between the rise and fall of an empire

The light from the campfire, is fading away

In traces of gray

As the stock market sleeps tonight 
Em                   D          C 
This town dreams in black and white 
 
  
Em         D           C           G 
The house filled with vampires 
Em          D      C              G 
Can a wound go unrecognized? 
Em                   D       C      G 
See the ghost of a distant time 
Em                    D       C 
As a freightliner of bull's fight
