Misc Computer Games – Dishonored 2 - Born In The Month Of Darkness (Guitar)

  Em                        B
Before the Great Burning, before the wars

   G                    A
A time of nothing, but hills and shores

     C                    Em
The smoke of cities, and fields of rye

    B               B
No eyes or voices beyond the sky

    Em                 B
Believers roamed from town to town

      G                    A
They spied every baby born, up and down

 C                       Em
Scouring the land for a child to use

    B               B
And ponderous, esoteric clues

   Em                      B
A crumbling black city, an outcast found,

G                        A
Father a monster, mother under the ground

   C                  Em
A beggar, a mongrel, a boy with no shoes

   B                     B
He fell to their hands to cage and abuse

    G                   A
And lo! in the month of darkness

     C                 G
And lo! his name destroyed

    G                        A
And lo! he still whispers in silence

    C                    Em
And lo! he went into the void

          Em                  B
They were drawn to a light, a waning gray

    G                     A
His face was blank he had nothing to say

   C                       Em
He watched and waited, they painted his eyes

      B                      B
They colored his clothing with pigments and dyes

      Em           B
They found a path away from the light

      G            A
To an ancient tree withered by blight

   C               Em
A sacred altar, encircled in stones

      B               B
Twin blades of bronze, sharpened on bones

    G                   A
And lo! in the month of darkness

    C                G
And lo! his name destroyed

    G                        A
And lo! he still whispers in silence

    C                    Em
And lo! he went into the void

       Em                  B
In the Month of Darkness, seasons destroyed

   G                      A
A ritual killing bound his spirit to the Void

C                         Em
Eyes drained of color, the beggar no more

      B                     B
To become what the Believers waited for

     Em              B
They set him outside, beyond the spheres

G                  A
Quiet as the night, long like the years

   C                  Em
He opened his eyes, as black as a dream

B                   B
Trying to speak, his only words only a scream

    G                   A
And lo! in the month of darkness

    C                 G
And lo! his name destroyed

    G                        A
And lo! he still whispers in silence

    C                    Em
And lo! he went into the void
