    C
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
                                 G
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
     C
I'm living in a silent film
                                     G
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality

    Eb                               F

I'm frightened by the total goal,     drawing to the ragged hole


      G             Em       C
And I ain't got the power anymore
     C                      G  Am7  Asus2  A
No I ain't got the power anymore

        D
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
                                          A
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
    D
I'm torn between the light and dark
                                       A
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry
F
Should I kiss the viper's fang
   G
Or herald loud the death of Man?
    A              F#m             D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
                             A
And I ain't got the power anymore

A       E            F#m
Don't believe in yourself
        D#dim        E
Don't deceive with belief
          Edim                 Bm

    D                    
I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man
                                                A 
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on
    D             
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
                                               A
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith
     F
If I don't explain what you ought to know
        G
You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo
    A              F#m             D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
                             A
And I ain't got the power anymore
