[Prologue]
Am F G Am
"O' God of earth and altar bow down and hear our cry
G Am F G Am
Our earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die
G Am F G Am
The walls of gold entombe us, the swords of scorn divide
G Am F G Am
*
Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride."
(from O God of Earth and Altar by G. K. Chesterton)

[Verse 1]
Am Fmaj7
Just a babe in a black abyss,
C Gadd4/B
No reason for a place like this
Am Fmaj7 C Gadd4/B
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7
An easy way for the blind to go,
C Gadd4/B
A clever path for the fools who know
Am Fmaj7 C Gadd4/B
The secret of the hanged man - the smile on his lips
[Chorus]
Am G Am C D
The light of the blind, you'll see
F G Am G
The venom tears my spine
Am C D F G Am
*
The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Am Fmaj7
She came to me with a serpent's kiss
C Gadd4/B
As the eye of the sun rose on her lips
Am Fmaj7 C Gadd4/B
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
[Verse 4]
Am Fmaj7
So we lay in a black embrace
C Gadd4/B
And the seed is sown in a holy place
Am Fmaj7 C Gadd4/B
And I watched and I waited for the dawn...
[Chorus]
Am G Am C D
The light of the blind, you'll see
F G Am G
The venom tears my spine
Am C D F G Am
N.C.
The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see...

G Am F G Am
Bind all of us together, ablaze with hope and free
G Am F G Am
No storm or heavy weather will rock the boat, you'll see
G Am F G Am
The time has come to close your eyes and still the wind and rain
G Am F G Am
*
For the one who will be king, the watcher in the ring...
