Semenelin
Intro:Am-C-G-F(4x)
(Intro chord pattern)
On an uncharted isle
A group of ground diggers toil
To try to find what remains are lying
Beneath the darkened soil.
(ICP)
With their axes constantly pounding
And their shovels breaking through the ground
It was about daybreak when someone shouted
He had heard an awkward sound.
Interlude:G5.A5-/G./B./G./C,
G5.A5-/A./B./C./D./A./B./C./D
(Repeat)
(Interlude chord pattern)
Oh my! Here we've found something
What could it be
Dm-Bb Dm
Oh my, I can hear my heart pounding
Bb Dm-Bb-/E,/F#,/G,/E,/F#,/G-
It's the Nobel Prize for me.
(ICP)
All went close to pay attention
To what it was that made them run
A piece of metal shone in the opening
With the rising sun.
(ICP)
From under the ground they saw it rise
No one knew what was coming
An ancient machine stood before their eyes
If they only knew what they were doing.
Repeat Interlude once
(Interlude chord pattern)
Tattooed across the monster's back
Was one word written down in black
Dm-Bb
From origins unknown
Where did it begin
Dm Bb
The mighty behemoth

Adlib:Am-C/G-F(8x)
Am--
A5
At once, the military came
They were there to investigate
They sent soldiers in
To see what they could locate
Hands quickly started to pry.
C
Lovers were pulled, God knows why
A5
Turbines began to hum
C
The machine was on
A5
It tore the ground beneath them
C
And created lava pools
A5
An excellent burial
C
For this ship of sinking fools
A5 B5 C
Someone built it up to hold a mighty reign
A D
Over his steadfast domain
A5 B5 C
The world now shudders in its bulk
D A5-B5-C-D
To the rotting hulk.
