[Intro Synth] N.C. G A A G A A G A A G A A [Intro Guitar] Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A [Verse 1]
F/C          C                      F/C                 C
   Sisters of the wayside bide their time in quiet peace

F/C                    C                    F/C   C
   A-wait their place within the ring of calm

Dm/A       A              Dm/A                 A
   Still stand to turn in seconds of release

Dm/A                   A              Dm/A  A  Dm/A
  A-wait the call they know may never come

F/C                  C            F/C            C
   In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon

F/C                  C                   F/C    C
   To jeopardize the course, upset the run

Dm/A          A                   Dm/A               A
   And all was joy, and hands were raised toward the sun

Dm/A                     A          Dm/A    A
   As love in the halls of plenty overrun
[Chorus]
Dsus  D  Dsus D   Dsus  D  Dsus  D
  Ahhhh,   ahhhh,   ahhhh,  ahhhhh
Bb/F F Bb/F F Bb/F F Bb/F F Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A Dm/A A [Verse 2]
F/C      C                      F/C             C
   Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast

F/C                       C            F/C  C
   Unending dances shadowed on the day

Dm/A            A           Dm/A                 A
   Within the wall, their daunting formless keep

Dm/A                   A                       Dm/A   A  Dm/A
   Preserved their joy that kept their doubts at bay

F/C                 C            F/C             C
   Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep

F/C                  C                  F/C    C
   Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray

Dm/A           A                     Dm/A               A
   And everything is soon, no sooner thought than deed

Dm/A                     A              Dm/A    A
   But no one seemed to question in any way
[Chorus]
Dsus  D  Dsus D   Dsus  D  Dsus  D
  Ahhhh,   ahhhh,   ahhhh,  ahhhhh
Bb/F F Bb/F F Bb/F F Bb/F F A F G A F G A F G A F G [Verse 3]
F/C         C                        F/C                    C
   How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land

F/C                   C                 F/C  C
   To seek the unsuspecting and the weak

Dm/A              A                Dm/A                 A
   And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand

Dm/A                      A                Dm/A  A   Dm/A
   Toward the foe that threatened from the deep

F/C                      C            F/C             C
   Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand

F/C                  C             F/C    C
  Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?

Dm/A        A                   Dm/A               A
   And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan'

Dm/A                         A                     Dm/A    A
   But no one there had heaven within their reach
[Chorus]

Cmaj7                          A        Cmaj7    A
   Where was your word, where did you go?

Cmaj7                                   A     Cmaj7   A
  Where was your helping, where was your bow,         bow?

Cmaj7                               A      Cmaj7     A
   Dull is the armour, cold is the day

Cmaj7                                 A     Cmaj7      A
   Hard was the journey, dark was the way,             way

   I couldn't stand it another day, another day,      another Day
(Funky Beat) G A [Bridge]
G
Touched by the timely coming

G
Roused from the keeper's sleep

A
Release the grip

A
Throw down the key

D
Held now within the knowing

D
Rest now within the peace

A
Take of the fruit

A
But guard the seed

Rest now within the beat

Take of the fruit

But guard the seed
