[Verse 1]
Been a long time now we're face to face
The law tore me down and I'm going away
Every piece of it hurts and I know it babe
I have become convinced there's no other way
Oh, every piece of it hurts, oh

[Verse 2]
Hold you close here where I stand
I tried for one last breath
I've been awake for days and nights and I know what's true
Destiny here is never free but maybe fate's confusing me
Bring it closer show me who you are

[Chorus]
Monotone chromium revelator
Hang my head in shame
Monotone chromium, I got a revelator
Take my cares away
Oh, every piece, it hurts

[Verse 3]
Now to the mirror for one last look at what I burned away and took
The planet's every heart beat passing by
Life is bordered every side
I don't exist between the times
I've said farewell friends, don't you know me?
[Chorus]
Monotone chromium revelator
Hang my head in shame
Monotone chromium, I got a revelator
Take my cares away

[Solo]

[Verse 4]
I hold you close here where I stand
I tried for one last breath
I've been awake for days and nights and I know what's true
Destiny here is never free but maybe fate's confusing me
Bring it closer show me who you are

[Chorus]
Monotone chromium revelator
Hang my head in shame
Monotone chromium, I got a revelator
Take my cares away

[Outro: Lanegan, Van/Gary Connor]
Oh yeah
Been a long time now we're face to face (Monotone chromium)
Revelator
The law tore me down and I'm going away (Monotone chromium)
Revelator
Every piece of it hurts and I know it babe (Monotone chromium)
Got a revelator
I have become convinced (Monotone chromium)
Monotone chromium revelator, Monotone chromium revelator
I hold you closely where I stand
I tried for one last breath
I've been awake for days and nights and I know what's true
