Verse 1
  D#m
A child in sweet duplicity
                             B
For innocence? Or slavery to nature
                             F#                  C#
And the bents that haunt him straight out of the womb?
   D#m
He doesn’t have to learn the things unseemly that his instinct brings
   B                            F#            C#
To carry like a burden from the cradle to the tomb
       B                               D#m
You’ll never have to teach him how to lie
   B                               F#               C#
If we are born in innocence, well, don’t you wonder why?
    B                            D#m
For selfishness already dwells inside
    B                       C#           A#m
The birthright of Adam, the curse of the old man


Chorus
F#m
Day and night
                       D
Jekyll and Hyde in the fairytale
        E         (C#)
This is much more frightening
F#m
Darkness and light
                     D
Feed the new man and tear the veil
        E
See the old man dying

Verse 2
  D#m
Behold the loving family man

Who tries to do the best he can
    B                                F#                C#
And loves his wife and children even more than his own life
    D#m
But just like that, a wandering eye leads to a suffocating lie
    B                             F#               C#
And selfishness and deep betrayal cuts them like a knife
   B                             D#m
If mankind doesn’t have a sinful drive
     B                                  F#              C#
Then tell me why he’d wreck his life to get some on the side?
    B                             D#m
The warring of two natures deep inside
B                          C#       A#m
Starving the new keeps the old man alive


Chorus
F#m
Day and night
                       D
Jekyll and Hyde in the fairytale
        E         (C#)
This is much more frightening
F#m
Darkness and light
                     D
Feed the new man and tear the veil
        E
See the old man dying
                          C#  D#m
Soul sickness nailed to a cro-oss

Am                        F             G
Humankind in innocence, a lie so thinly veiled
Am                                   F            G
Man born without soul sickness: this is the fairytale
Am
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
            F            G
Hide in the fairytale, yeah
Am                F
Yeah! New man and tear the veil
        G
See the old man dying
