Artifact

Em G  4x

[Verse 1]
Em                A         C              Em
Poet, priest, and visionary rallied to the call
G           Bm                    Em
The will of humankind defied them all
Em           A               C        Em
Coveting the gold and silver idols of success
G       Bm         Em
Only to perpetuate duress

[Interlude]
Em G  4x

[Verse 2]
Em           A                C           Em
Every king's assassin waiting silently at bay
G             Bm             Em
Counting down until his holy day
Em           A              C             Em
Artifacts of ancient wisdom buried in the sand
G              Bm             Em
Hastily upturned to clear the land

[Chorus]
    G                                Bm
Now I ain't going to claim to be the second son
  G
I love my follow man
      C
But I hate what he's become
            Em      A       Em      C       Em
And it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on

[Interlude]
Em G  4x

[Verse 3]
Em               A              C            Em
To calculate the universe leads further from divine
    G               Bm            Em
But can we comprehend all that we find?
Em           A              C             Em
Artifacts of ancient wisdom buried in the sand
G             Bm           Em
Neglected and denied by us again


[Chorus]
    G                               Bm
Now I ain't going to cast the first stone, you see
  G
I love my follow man
      C
And I love what he could be
            Em      A       Em      C       Em
But it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on
