Europa

G A D Bm

[Verse 1]
D
'I will live and will not die'
G              D
is what she told me
A
Now the dark oceans of her eyes grow
G         D
still and frozen
D
I lay her out on the open clear 
Where she's still
G             D
suited and covered
G                  D
Did she know those words were
A                  D
The last I’d ever hear

[Verse 2]
D
Two years of soundless night
G               D
We came on you looming
A
Found your pale, unwavering eye
   G             D
Had foreseen our coming
D
Descending on the Conamara
G                D
Did we fall like matches
G                D
Or maybe more like ashes
A                     D
On miles and miles of ice

[Chorus]
G                    A
In your arms ancient goddess
D                            Bm
No sun will rise to ease the cold
G                    A
From this vantage of darkness
D                            Bm
A pale, blue star’s light is fading 
low

[Verse 3]
D
Seven miles down ice and stone
G                  D
Fourteen months of drilling
A
We finally strike the oceans of your
 womb
        G                D
Just to find that you’re barren
D
O the madness that drove us to this
G             D
A mistress so neglected
G             D
To her bitter breasts will
A                         D
Clutch you even long past death

[Chorus]
G                    A
In your arms ancient goddess
D                            Bm
No sun will rise to ease the cold
G                    A
From this vantage of darkness
D                            Bm
A pale, blue star’s light is fading 
low

[Bridge]
Bm
Every mind gonna slide straight in 
the dark
G
Every star burn hard just to be 
snuffed out
D
Every flame gonna wane, gonna break
A
Beneath that blinding winter
Bm
But you’re a queen besieging every 
fire that dies
G
You avenge, ascending on a throne of
 ice
D
We the fools you drew so you
A
Could hang us on your neck like 
silver

[Chorus]
G                    A
In your arms ancient goddess
D                            Bm
No sun will rise to ease the cold
G                    A
From this vantage of darkness
D                            Bm
A pale, blue star’s light is fading 
low
