the plant life of your widow.
In black lace curtains brought you

The Minotaur with bloody hands is  
G#

G#m7                          
Caged he by the corpses brought 
               F#

In Orient is as I told the buckshee 
hangman swears.
    G#m7                        
For open crypts to silence nylon 
                  F#
knots to sway by prayer.

Come give the beggar chance at hand
