Annihilate the Corrupt Chords & Lyrics by Demon Hunter
Annihilate the Corrupt
guitar chords lyrics
This is from Demon Hunter's second album, "Summer of Darkness." I was
trying to learn it on this site when I realized the chords in the chorus
were actually really easy, so I tried making the rest of it into an
acoustic song...and this is what I came up with. I thought it would be nice
for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics presented differently.
I'll be posting my own recording of it on my profile if you want to
actually hear how I play and sing it. I think my guitar's tuned down a half
step, as well, just for reference.
Here are some funky chords I use in the first and second choruses and the
tag...all other chords are either normal chords or power chords exactly as
written.

Verse:
Em C Em D
Behind the eyes of my compassion lies a suffering soul
Em C Em D
And in my blood a bitter darkness slowly taking its toll
Em C Em
I feel the death of our connection and the fading of light
C D
Between the shards of sudden panic from choking on my life
Em C Em D
I see the scars of your addiction and the feeling you hide
Em C Em D
A blackened heart from all the hatred you will never rewind
Em C Em
Within the depths of your depression hear you pleading for help
C D
You're just a shell of vacant ruin, a portrait of myself
Prechorus 1:

Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull
Verse:
Em C Em D
Beneath the skin of your aggression is a thickening fear
Em C Em D
A swelling plague from every devastating voice that you hear
Em C Em
You feel the throes of contradiction in the world that you left
C D
Another day in your delusion, the never-ending death

I can't breathe alone; You can guide me home
