Kali Yuga Über Alles Acordes

[Intro]
N.C.
One of the saddest things about the modern world is that people live
in a tiny time slice which they carry forward with them. Nothing remains.
N.C.
The centuries to them are completely dark. Just un-illumined corridors 
through which they stagger into a single little sliver of light.
N.C.
Every great civilization has a record of a period of a golden age,
when there was no war, no dispute, no lying.
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
It's not by shunning darkness that you'll know light
 
Not holy fields of wood alive, of stone alive
Em
And up in the rooms of your barren house
 
You're reassembling language to keep realities out
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
I know your credentials, and I know you'll tell
 
In this game of reeds, in the logic of the spell
Em
My burning attachment to contingencies
 
For who wills the end, may will the means
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm             C             Em
When it's only fools and firebrand (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm           C                     Em
The books of law in the arsonist's hands (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm             C                        Em
Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm               C                   Em
And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em
Time to collect the stones, and what our guards left behind
 
Stray out of being, and out of time
Em
I know your credentials, I know your tell
 
Embracing that death you know so well
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm             C             Em
When it's only fools and firebrand (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm           C                     Em
The books of law in the arsonist's hands (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm             C                        Em
Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm               C                   Em
And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there
Bm             C             Em
When it's only fools and firebrand (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm           C                     Em
The books of law in the arsonist's hands (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm             C                        Em
Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care (Kali yuga, uber alles)
Bm               C                   Em
And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there
 
 
[Spoken Finnish]
Bm
Jätän sinut kaaokseesi
C
Joka ei ole enää osani
Em
Sillä olen myrskyn silmässä
 
Olen sen elävä keskus
Em
Olen muinainen järjestys
 
Ja mikä on Kaaosta on minulle toisarvoista
Em
Sen maailman riekaleita
 
Joka ei enää koske minua
