*E5 F#
The felix of your truth will always break it
*E5 F#
and the iris of your eye, always shake it

And the armies, the armies I have created
Will always hate it, always bait you on... Ohh...
C#5II

I liked the way my hand looked on your head

But the beauty of this vision alone, I can't shake from my tree just yet
It keeps invading all my private moments
Listen to me now!
Chorus 2:
*E5 F#
The felix of your truth will always break it
*E5 F#
and the iris of your eyes, always shake it
*E5 F#

Woo! Come on!!
Until I take their flags
