The Voracious March Of Godliness

[Intro]
 
Gm
 
 
[Verse]
 
          Gm           Eb   F     C
Since the start of the 17th century
        Eb                                               F
There's been the scent of unseasoned wood burning in the air
        Gm          Eb           F          C
And the conquest of nature meant nothing at all
      Eb                                      F
While we betray exception we take all that is there
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Gm               Eb            Bb            F
Motives are translucent in the reflection of shame
    Gm              Eb              Bb        F
The actions ghostly remnants of our ancestral ways
    Gm          Bb                 Eb              D
And unwittingly you just take your place in this parade
      Eb                         F
The voracious march of godliness makes us all the
        G   Eb
Same anyway
        G   Eb
All the same
Bb F D
Aaaaaaah
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Gm
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
          Gm          Eb    F     C
Since the dawn of our human family
             Eb                                 F
There's been concentrated sepsis blowing in the breeze
       Gm             Eb           F   C
And we turned on each other with ferocity
     Eb                       F
Desperation forced without reprieve
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Gm                    Eb                Bb               F
But the missions were misguided and the trammeled led astray
    Gm                Eb             Bb                 F
The air resounds with thunder as the victors seized the day
        Gm                Bb               Eb              D
And the haunting voice of history lives ignored but not betrayed
      Eb                              F
The voracious march of godliness will get us close to heaven
    G    Eb
One day
     G   Eb
Some day
Bb F D
Aaaaaaah

      Eb                         F
The voracious march of godliness makes us all the
        G   Eb
Same anyway
        G   Eb
All the same
Bb F D
Aaaaaaah
