[Intro] Csus4 C Csus4 C (4x) [Verse 1]
C           F               D                G
I have this feeling that my luck is none too good

C               F                D              G
This sword here at my side don't act the way it should

      C              F             D             G
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave

C          F                       D            G
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
[Chorus]
       Csus4 C Csus4 C
And it howls,

              Csus4 C Csus4 C
it howls like hell
[Verse 2]
C                F       D                 G
I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law

     C             F               D                    G
That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore

  C                 F            D                  G
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul

  C                  F        D              G
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool
[Chorus]
      Csus4 C Csus4 C

        C                F      D              G
There's death from the beginning to the end of time

    C              F              D             G
And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign

        C             F    D                G
And the whole world's dying and the burdens mine

        C                    F       D               G
And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time
