    Am               F         G                 Am
"O' God of earth and altar bow down and hear our cry 

G   Am             F           G                Am
Our earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die 

G    Am              F             G                 Am 
 The walls of gold entombe us, the swords of scorn divide 

G    Am              F        G             Am *
Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride."

[Interlude] |Am |Fmaj7 |C |Gadd4/B | x2 [Verse 1]
Am               Fmaj7        
Just a babe in a black abyss, 

   C            Gadd4/B
No reason for a place like this 

    Am                 Fmaj7            C     Gadd4/B
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
[Verse 2]
   Am               Fmaj7        
An easy way for the blind to go, 

  C                   Gadd4/B
A clever path for the fools who know 

    Am            Fmaj7           C             Gadd4/B
The secret of the hanged man - the smile on his lips
[Chorus]
Am         G      Am     C      D
 The light of the blind, you'll see 

    F     G        Am  G
The venom tears my spine 

Am        C      D        F   G            Am *
 The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see
[Interlude] |Am |Fmaj7 |C |Gadd4/B | [Verse 3]
    Am                Fmaj7           
She came to me with a serpent's kiss 

       C               Gadd4/B
As the eye of the sun rose on her lips 

Am                Fmaj7          C    Gadd4/B
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
[Verse 4]
Am             Fmaj7          
So we lay in a black embrace 

        C                 Gadd4/B
And the seed is sown in a holy place 

      Am            Fmaj7           C    Gadd4/B
And I watched and I waited for the dawn...
[Chorus]
Am         G      Am     C      D
 The light of the blind, you'll see 

    F     G     Am    G
The venom tears my spine 

Am        C      D        F   G            Am    N.C.
 The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see...

[Instrumental] |Am N.C. |F N.C. |G N.C. |Am N.C. G | x2 [Prologue]
G    Am        F          G                   Am
Bind all of us together, ablaze with hope and free 

G  Am             F            G                     Am
No storm or heavy weather will rock the boat, you'll see 

G   Am               F                   G                  Am
The time has come to close your eyes and still the wind and rain 

G       Am              F         G              Am *
For the one who will be king, the watcher in the ring...
[Outro]
|Am        |Fmaj7     |C         |Gadd4/B   |
                                      It is 

|Am        |Fmaj7     |C         |Gadd4/B   |
 you,      ooh...                     It is 

|Am
 you...
