Architects - Death Is Not Defeat

[Intro]
G#m F#m E F#m

[Chorus]
G#m F#m E
When I leave this skin and bone
E F#m G#m
Beyond my final heartbeat
F#m
I’ll dismantle piece by piece
E
And I will know that death is not defeat

[Chorus]
G#m B E
When I leave this skin and bone
G#m B E
Beyond my final heartbeat (Heartbeat)
G#m B E
I’ll dismantle piece by piece
B C#m A G#m
And I will know that death is not defeat

[Verse 1]
G#m E
Holding on tight to what’s left of our time
C#m
We’ve hidden away, but it’s in the design
D#m E
Why do we fight what we can’t define?
G#m
Don’t be afraid, we all cross the same line

[Chorus]
G#m B E
When I leave this skin and bone
G#m B E
Beyond my final heartbeat (Heartbeat)
G#m B E
I’ll dismantle piece by piece
B C#m A G#m
And I will know that death is not defeat

[Verse 2]
G#m E
Into the night, we burn and rage
C#m
In death, we repay for time on this stage
D#m E
The lights are bright, but don’t lose your way
G#m
‘Cause once it ignites, the flame must decay

[Bridge]
G#m
Now you’re finally complete
G#m
I will see you where oceans meet
G#m
Past and present merge,
E C#m G#m
light and dark will converge
G#m E
Time will overthrow our,
C#m G#m
our reign on this throne

E C#m G#m E C#m

G#m E C#m G#m
The everlasting sleep returning through the veil
E C#m G#m
Far beneath the deep, another soul sets sail

[Instrumental]
G#m F#m E F#m

[Outro]
G#m F#m E
When I leave this skin and bone
E F#m G#m
Beyond my final heartbeat
F#m
I’ll dismantle piece by piece
E
And I will know that death is not defeat
G#m B E
When I leave this skin and bone
G#m B E
Beyond my final heartbeat (Heartbeat)
G#m B E
I’ll dismantle piece by piece
B C#m A
And I will know that death is not defeat
G#m
