we heard it all in halls of pain
it wasn't good
there was a call, in baggage claim
it wasn't good
she had a hunch, it was't lunch
it wasn't good

heaven's boys protect you

back to verse 1 progression. Play thru 1x over solo.
[verse 2] - same riff (guitar left plays Dm on almost every downbeat)
now once again to halls of pain
when will it end?
god's machines say it's your genes
when will it end?
why has thou forsaken me, again and again?
you always said "when will it end?"
when will it end?
[chorus] - same chords
heaven's boys protect you
i am almost there
if your poison gets you
i will be on time
if you sink to madness
say a little pray
if your poison gets you
i am down the line
