C#5 D5 E5 [Verse 1] C#5 I was raised in the years of the harvest D5 There were fields to the far horizon turning to the sun C#5 I have killed more than I could eat D5 I live in a house filled with bones C#5 But now the rain doesn't fall D5 And the wells are running brackish and dry C#5 We stare out across the shrivelling fields D5 At the pitiless blue of the pitiless sky [Chorus] B5 Bad harvest is come, we're gathering dust D5 B5 The scavenger birds are returning B5 La Muerte parades through the capital streets D5 B5 Soon they'll be hunting for witches for the burning [Verse 2] C#5 I can hear in the far-off distance D5 The sound of the men making ready to come C#5 I can hear them saddling horses D5 And the sound of the hounds howling scenting the kill in the air C#5 I can taste fear on my tongue D5 I can feel fear in my heart C#5 We'll be running and stumbling through the thick dark woods D5 Through the barren fields through the empty towns [Chorus] B5 Bad harvest is come and the wars they are lost D5 B5 Whatever is left will be returning B5 La Muerte parades through the capital streets D5 B5 Soon they'll be hunting for witches for the burning [Bridge] C5 B5 Beneath the towering clouds of rusting red C5 B5 As the sun bleeds into the horizon C5 B5 The churches of the new gods are closing their doors C5 B5 And the hard old gods are vengeance-bent on their returning [Intro] C#5 D5 E5 [Bridge] C#5 The gardens of the ruined towers glow with burning crosses D5 While the kings are in their counting houses counting out their losses C#m D5 Trust to the stories, my love - it's what they are for what's happening now has happened before [Chorus] B5 Bad harvest is come, we're gathering dust D5 B5 The scavenger birds are returning B5 La Muerte parades through the capital streets D5 B5 Whatever is left will be returning C5 B5 And now they'll be hunting for witches for the burning C5 B5 They'll be hunting for witches for the burning C5 B5 They'll be hunting for witches for the burning C5 They'll be hunting for witches for the burning
