I am not afraid
I won't burn out in this place

In this house on the hill

Somewhere in the end of all this hate
There's a light ahead
That shines into this grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will
Somewhere in the end we're all insane
To think that light ahead can save us from this
Grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will
I am not afraid
I won't burn out in this place
My intention is to fade and I will, I will
In this house on a hill
The dead are living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
Keep your children safe inside
Out of pocket, out of mind
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will...

Somewhere in the end of all this hate
There's a light ahead
That shines into this grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill

Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine

Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will
Somewhere in the end we're all insane

Keep your children safe inside
Out of pocket, out of mind

I did this all by ear, so correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't seen any other tabs for the intro
(which kind of continues throughout the entire song), so I decided I'd give it a shot.

I'm not really able to pick out the pattern for the verse, but I'm pretty sure that it's around
the same pattern but using Am, F, C, and then G. I use those chords to strum during the chorus as well.

Our impulses are being redirected.
We are living in an artificially induced state of consciousness that resembles sleep.
The poor and the under class are growing. Racial justice and human rights are non-existent.
They have created a repressive society. And we their unwilling accomplishments.
Their intention to rule rests with their annihilation of consciousness.
