Revelations

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

[Verse 1]
Am                     Cadd9
Just a babe in a black abyss
C                          G
No reason for a place like this
Am                     Cadd9     
The walls are cold and souls cry 
       G
out in pain
Am
An easy way for the blind to go
C
A clever path for the fools who know
Am                F            C
The secret of the hanged man - 
                G
the smile on his lips

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

Am
She came to me with a serpents kiss

[Verse 2]
                      Cadd9       
As the eye of the sun rose on her 
G
lips
Am                               
Moonlight catches silver tears I 
Cadd9
cry
                     Am
So we lay in a black embrace

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

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

[Verse 3]
Am
Bind all of us together
 G                 Am
Ablaze of hope and free

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

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