[Pre-Verse]
D5 Gb5 F5
E5
[Verse 1]
The C5moon, she hangs
Like a cruel portrait
Soft winds Gb5whisper
The bidding of trees
As this F5tragedy starts with
A shattered glass heart
And the E5midnightmare
Trampling of dreams
[Chorus]
But D5oh, C5no tears please
G5 Fear and F5pain may
AcC5company D5death
But it C5is desire that
G5Shepherds its certainF5ty
As C5we D5shall see
[Verse 2]
Ab5 F5 She E5was diD5vinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
F5 A E5queen of D5snow,
Far beyond compare
Lips atAb5tuned to symmetry
Sought her F5everyE5where
Dark D5liquored eyes,
An Arabian nightmare
[Pre-Chorus]
F5 Eb5 She D5shone on watercolors
Of my pond life as pearl
Ab5 F5 E5 Until D5those who couldn't have
Her, cut her free of this world
Ab5 That fateful F5eve E5when
The D5breeze stank
Of sunset and camphor
Their Ab5lanterns chased
Phantoms and F5threw E5
An inD5quisitive glance,
Like the shadows they cast
On my Ab5love picking rue by
The F5light of the E5moon
[Chorus]
D5 Putting reason to C5flight
Or to death is their G5way
They F5crept through
Woods C5mesmeD5rized
By the taffeta C5ley of
Her hips that held G5sway
Over F5all they surC5veyed
Save a D5mist on the rise
A deadly C5blessing to hiG5de
Her F5ghost C5in the D5fog
They raped and C5left,
Five men of G5God,
Her F5ghost C5in the D5fog
[Interlude 1]
A5 Bb5Dawn discovered her
There beC5neath
The cedar's stare
D5Silk dress torn, her raven
Hair A5flown to gown
Her beauty bared
Was Bb5starred with frost,
I knew her lost
I C5wept 'til tears crept
Back to prayer
D5 She'd A5sworn me vows
In fragrant blood
Bb5 "Never to part, lest C5jealous
Heaven stole our hearts"
D5 Then this I screamed,
A5 "Come back to me
For Bb5I was born
In love with thee
So C5why should fate
Stand in betG5ween?"
[Bridge]
Eb5 And G5as I drowned
Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid
And final words
I espied a gleam
Trodden to earth
The church bell
B5Tower C5key
[Pre-Verse]
Gb5 F5 E5 The C5village mourned
[Verse 3]
Her by the by
For she'd Gb5been a witch,
Their men had longed to F5try
And I broke under
Christ seeking E5guilty signs
My tortured soul on
[Break]
D5 ice
A queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare
[Pre-Chorus]
She was D5Erzulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
Ab5 F5 E5My D5porcelain yin
A graceful angel of Ab5sin
And F5so for E5her
The D5breeze stank of
Sunset and camphor
My Ab5lantern chased her
Phantom and F5blew E5
Their D5chapel ablaze and
All locked in to a pain
Ab5Best reserved for
Judgement that
Their F5bible conE5strued
[Chorus]
C5 Putting reason to Bb5flight
Or to flame unaF5shamed
I swept from Eb5cries
MesBb5merized
C5 By the taffeta Bb5ley
Or her hips that held F5sway
Over Eb5all those at Bb5bay
Save a C5mist on the rise
A final Bb5blessing to hiF5de
Her Eb5ghost Bb5in the C5fog
And I embBb5raced
Where lovers F5rot
Her Eb5ghost Bb5in the D5fog
[Post-Chorus]
