Version 1[Intro] 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 G The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain Am An easy way for the blind to go C A clever path for the fools who know Am F C G The secret of the hanged man - the smile on his lips [Chorus] Am The light of the blind youll see G Am The venom that tears my spine G Am The eyes of the nile are opening - youll see Am She came to me with a serpents kiss [Verse 2] Cadd9 G As the eye of the sun rose on her lips Am Cadd9 Moonlight catches silver tears I cry Am So we lay in a black embrace And the seed is sown in a holy place C G And I watched and I waited for the 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 Cadd9 The time has come to close your 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
