string intro-



Em  Am/C  Em/B  Am  2x



Em                    Am/C

"alas my love you say goodbye

Em/B                    Am

wipe the poison from my brow

Em                       Am/C

alas my love this guilty night

Em/B                         Am

it gives me up like a foster child

and in this moment I take my vow

at these angels sleeping at my feet

Am7            Em9                    

and in this moment you do not know how

Am7                    E5-F#5-G5                 

how my spirit wants to flee."

Am7                       Em      

You see what was one man, against the night

Am7                                                      C-B--E5-E5-E5-E5

taking on a multitude that had left him high and dry

Em                              

no candle burning vigil could light the way,  

                        E5-E5-E5-E5

darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite



Em                                   E5-E5-E5-E5

he wrestled until morning with human souls

Em                           

and dark angels



Em           E5-E5-E5-E5

and there he finished his work

Em

on the third day.

remember.
