Standard (EADGBE)

 You see me now, a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars

You ask me why I'm weary Why I can't speak to you

You see me now a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars

I've been living on the edge so long Where the winds of limbo roar

You blame me for my silence Say it's time I changed and grew

My energy is spent at last And my armor is destroyed

 And I'm young enough to look at And far too old to see

But the war's still going on, dear And there's no end that I know

I have used up all my weapons And I'm helpless and bereaved

 All the scars are on the inside

And I can't say if we're ever

Wounds are all I'm made of

I'm not sure that there's anything left of me

I can't say if we're ever gonna be free

Did I hear you say that this is victory

Don't let these shakes go on

Don't let these shakes go on

 It's time we had a break from it

It's time we had a break from it

It's time we had some leave

Send me to the rear

We've been living in the flames

Where the tides of madness swell

We've been eating out our brains

And been sliding into hell

 Oh, please don't let these shakes go on

Oh, please don't let shakes go on

Don't let these shakes go on

Don't let these shakes go on
