[Verse 1]
Em
Behold a new Christ
Em
Behold the same old horde
Em
Gather at the altering
Em
New beginning, new word
Em
And the word was death
Em
And the word was without light
Em
The new beatitude:
Em
"Good luck, you're on your own"

Em D Am C
Em D G Am

[Verse 2]
Em                     D
Blessed are the fornicates
D                             Am
May we bend down to be their whores
                    C
Blessed are the rich
                             Em
May we labor, deliver them more
                  D
Blessed are the envious
                                       G
Bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain
                      A
Blessed are the gluttonous
                                 C   D G
May they feast us to famine and war

[Chorus 1]
             C                              D
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
G            C                             D      G
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
        G
All doomed
     C     D
All doomed

Behold the same old horde
G
Gather at the altering

New beginning, new word

The new beatitude:

"Good luck..."

[Chorus 2]
             C                   Em         G
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
             G
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
  Em         C
What of the righteous?
Em             D
What of the charitable?
Em                         Am                C
What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?

[Outro]
Em
Doomed are the poor
D
Doomed are the peaceful
Am
Doomed are the meek
C
Doomed are the merciful

For the word is now death
D
And the word is now without light
G
The new beatitude:
Em
"Fuck the doomed, you're on your own"
