Verse 1
[C]How miserable I [F]am
I feel like a fruit-picker who arrives after the [C]harvest
There's nothing here at [F]all
Nothing at all here that could placate my [Am]hunger
The godly [C]people are all [F]gone
There's not one honest soul left here on the [C]planet
We're all murderers and [F]thieves
Setting traps here for even our [Am]brothers

Chorus 1
And [Gsus2]both of our [F]hands
Are equally [C]skilled
[Gsus2]At doing [F]evil
Equally [C]skilled
At [Gsus2]bribing the [F]judges
Equally [C]skilled
[Gsus2]At perverting [F]justice
Both of our [Gsus2]hands
Both of our [C]hands

Verse 2
The [C]day of justice [F]comes
And is even now swiftly [C]arriving
Don't trust anyone at [F]all
Not your best friend or even your [Am]wife
For the [C]son hates the [F]father
The daughter despises even her [C]mother
Look Your enemies are [F]right
Right in the room of your very [Am]household

Chorus 1

Interlude
Same as Intro

Bridge
No, [D]don't gloat over [Gsus2]me

For though I fall, though I fall
I will rise [D]again[Dsus2][D]
Though I sit here in [Gsus2]darkness

The Lord, the Lord alone
Bm Riff
He will be my light
I will be [Asus4]patient as the [Gsus2]Lord
Punishes me for the wrongs I've done aga[D]inst Him
After that He'll take my [Gsus2]case

Bringing me to light and to justice
For all I have [Bm]suffered

Chorus 2
And [Asus4]both of His [Gsus2]hands
Are equally [D]skilled
[Asus4]At ruining [Gsus2]evil
Equally [D]skilled
[Asus4]At judging the [Gsus2]judges
Equally [D]skilled
[Asus4]Administering [Gsus2]justice
Both of His [Asus4]hands
Both of His [Gsus2]hands

Chorus 3
Are equally [D]skilled
[Asus4]At showing me [Gsus2]mercy
Equally [Bm]skilled
[Asus4]At loving the [Gsus2]loveless
Equally [D]skilled
[Asus4]Administering [Gsus2]justice
Both of His [Asus4]hands
Both of His [Gsus2]hands[A][D]
