This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics Corrected By:Inverted

A stab in the back with a fearless knife

With no regard to an innocent life

Ruthlessly killing, what terrible fun

Now that you're falling with nowhere to run

Back to the one who you fear is dead

The nightmare returns, those thoughts in your head

Warmly embraced, you will soon go away

The blood-soaked hands that are destitute, say...

We’re back to one

You're falling, you're falling to your death down below

And dying, ease pain, no one will ever know

You're crawling toward the goodness of the light

And crying out, out to those who may stop this, this fight

Check out my other tabs by: Deicide, Obituary, Hypocrisy,

Grave, Catastrophic, Six Feet Under, Incantation, Death and

Cannibal Corpse.
