Toba The Tura chords

Toba The Tura

• Em

Razia's Shadow is an eloquent masterpiece of music.  An incredibly talented 
grouping of artists all on one concept album, each track is truly its own universe 
of sound.  'Toba the Tura' was one (among many) of my favorites featuring 
Chris Conley from Saves The Day.

Em         A     Dmaj7      Bm7
So you're Ahrima, collusive dreamer. 
Em            A           Dmaj7           Bm7
I watched the lamps fall, you pushed them over.
Em              A            Dmaj7        Bm7 
They say you're gifted, well I just see a scared kid. 
Em             A           Dmaj7           F#
They must have flipped it, your skills are latent. 
Bm7                Dmaj7                  Em
O, you snuffed the glow. Replaced it with coals. 
               F#
Threw away the throne. 
Bm7                Dmaj7                  Em
O, you snuffed the glow, replaced it with coals. 
              F#
Burnt down my home. 

Em        A       Dmaj7               Bm7
You had a life of privilege, hope and love. 
Em             A         Dmaj7            Bm7
But now that's all gone. Maybe the design's flawed. 
Em             A           Dmaj7         Bm7
So that's why I'm here, to preserve the remainder 
Em             A       Dmaj7      F#
Of what chance we have left at an existence. 

Bm7             Dmaj7                   Em
O, the desolate dirt. The raw, scorched earth. 
                      F#
It's a trophy of your worth. 
Bm7              Dmaj7                  Em     
O, the desolate dirt. The raw, scorched earth. 
                  F#
It's a scar of my hurt. 

Bm7               Dmaj7       Em             A
Your cold, wicked soul boasts a foul scent. (No, a stench)
Dmaj7      Bm7          Em             A
The formidable taste of pure contempt. 
Bm7        Dmaj7            Em              A
Every dark corner will soon see the light. (O, so bright)
Dmaj7        Bm7                  Em                A
The beaming flood will pour right through the blinds. 

   Bm7                         Dmaj7
My words will tear through the air, 
                   Em
Pierce through the despair, 
             F#                  Bm7
To find your arrogant, throbbing ears. 
                    Dmaj7 
If it's too much to bear, or to hear, 
   Em
Or take, I'll be frank,
        F# 
Let my inflection be crystal clear. 
Bm7                   Dmaj7                 Em
This mess that you've made, it's a six-foot grave. 
                     F#                  Bm7
It's a home for your lonesome bones that remain. 
           Dmaj7                 Em
We'll disappear, but you'll stay here to rot 
       F# -- (play as xx11,11,11,9) 
As The King of The Dark and Forgot.

Em        A       Dmaj7           Bm7     
What have I done?     Please make me your son. 
Em        A        Dmaj7         Bm7
What have I become?    Destroyed all I love.
Em
O, what have you done? 
A                Dmaj7                   Bm7                     
Disobedient son, you've broken the trust of your father's love.
