Beauty  finds  refuge
in  herself
Lovers  wrapped  inside
each  others lies
Beauty  is  such a
terrible  thing
She  is suffering
Yet  more than death
 (Played as barre chords)
She is suffering
She sucks  you deeper in
She is suffering
You exist  within her shadow
Beauty, she  is scarred
into  man's soul
A  flower attracting
lust,  vice and sin
A  vine that  can strangle
life  from a tree
Carrion, surrounding,
picking  on leaves
 (Played as barre chords)
She is suffering
She sucks  you deeper in
She is suffering
You exist  within her shadow
 (Power chords) x4
Beauty she  poisons
unfaithful  all
Stifled,  her  touch is
leprous  and pale
The  less she  gives the more
you  need her
No  thoughts to forget  when we were
children
 (Played as barre chords)
She is suffering
She sucks  you deeper in
She is suffering
Nature's  luke-warm pleasure
 That's it. Took much longer to write out than expected.
 In the third verse, he just strums the chords, rather than picking them. I think
he plays the A and Am like this:
Am
