This song is mostly an arpeggiated 
chord over the verses
and a strummed chorus.  On the 
arpeggiation, you basically
just walk the bass note to the 
chord.

-|verse) 


I will give the secrets you request
and you will be the one to sacrifice

so lay your olive arms across my 
breast
and sing the poems, free the 
butterflies


[chorus]
G                                 
Pray your gods who ask you for 
  D
your blood
G                           
For they are strong and angry 
               D
jealous ones
G                             D   
Or lay upon my altar now your love
 A   G

G
I fear my time is short
G
There are armies moving close
G
Be quick, my love

[verse -- same riff]

I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to gods of cruel 
design

Is it that they fear the pain of 
death
Or could it be they fear the joy of 
life?


[chorus]

G                                 
Pray your gods who rule you by 
  D
your fears
G                             
For they are quick and ruthless 
            D
punishers
G                             D   
Or lay upon my altar now your love
 A  G

G
I fear my day is done
G
There are armies moving on
G
Be quick, my love
