Chord/Tab song: Revelations

O God of earth and altar
Bow [G]down and hear our [Am]cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our [G]people drift and [Am]die
The walls of gold entombe us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
But [G]take away our [Am]pride

[Am]Just a babe in a black [Cadd9]abyss
[C]No reason for a place like [G]this
[Am]The walls are cold and [Cadd9]souls cry out in [G]pain
[Am]An easy way for the blind to go
[C]A clever path for the fools who know
[Am]The secret of the [F]hanged man - [C]the smile on his [G]lips

[Am]The light of the blind youll see
The venom that tears [G]my [Am]spine
The eyes of the nile [G]are opening - youll [Am]see

[Am]She came to me with a serpents kiss
As the eye of the sun [Cadd9]rose on her [G]lips
[Am]Moonlight catches silver tears I [Cadd9]cry
So we lay in a black [Am]embrace

And the seed is sown in a holy place
[C]And I watched and I waited for the [G]dawn

The light of the blind youll see
The venom that tears my spine
The eyes of the nile are opening - youll see

[Am]Bind all of us together
A[G]blaze of hope and [Am]free

No storm or heavy weather
Will [G]rock the boat youll [Am]see
The time has come to close your [Cadd9]eyes
And [G]still the wind and [Am]rain

For the one who will be king
The [G]watcher in the [Am]ring
[G]It is [Am]you
