Am          F
 A thousand eyes
       C
Open inside
            E                Am
To grant me sight to see the end
           F
A thousand eyes
                 C
The curse of the wise
     E
Into the madness I descend

[Instrumental]
Am B (x8)

[Verse]
     Am
Many moons I've lingered lonely
                     E
Many dreams I've overseen
      Am
Now I wait for one below me
   F         E    Am
To arise and intervene

         Am
From the churches and the chapels
                         E
Came the ones we must pursue
             Am
And though I long to be unshackled
        F      E      Am
I shall see my burden through

[Pre-chorus]
    Am      E        C     F
And can you hear the choir sing
    Dm              E
For pale blood satellites
   Am        E      C    F
To watch the end of everything
Bb              E
On this longest night

[Chorus]
Am          F
 A thousand eyes
       C
Open inside
            E                Am
To grant me sight to see the end
           F
A thousand eyes
                 C
The curse of the wise
     E
Into the madness I descend

[Instrumental]
Am B (x4)

[Verse]
        Am
From my final perch I ponder
                    E
On the infinite and vast
       Am
In the blindness I still wander
          F        E      Am
Though my time has almost passed

          Am
There are things I longed to teach you
                    E
In my institutions' creeds
        Am
Lurking just behind the corners
       F     E  Am
Of our own realities

[Pre-chorus]
    Am      E        C     F
And can you hear the choir sing
Dm              E
Voices fill the spires
Am       E          C   F
Hymns of want still echoing
Bb                     E
Prayers on the lips of liars

[Chorus]
Am          F
 A thousand eyes
       C
Open inside
            E                Am
To grant me sight to see the end
           F
A thousand eyes
                 C
The curse of the wise
     E
Into the madness I descend

Am          F
 A thousand eyes
       C
Open inside
            E                Am
To grant me sight to see the end
           F
The more I behold
              C
The further I fold
         E
Into the madness I descend

[Guitar solo]
Am F C E (x2)

[Bridge]
Am                    F
 And the cogs creak a melody
C                   E
 Hear the deafening dirges rise
Am                      F
 And the ones who would never be
C                      E
 Behold the end with a thousand eyes

[Instrumental]
Am F Am Dm E

[Outro]
Am              F
 Paleblood will guide your way
Am          Dm        E         Am
Look to the inside to break the seals
              F
Bleed out the dark, decay
C          E
 Ascend to places beyond the real

Am              F
 Paleblood will guide your way
Am          Dm        E         Am
Look to the inside to break the seals
              F
Bleed out the dark, decay
C          E
 Ascend to places beyond the real

Am F C E
