[Intro] C#5 D5 E5 [Verse 1]
C#5
    I was raised in the years of the harvest

                                     D5
There were fields to the far horizon turning to the sun

C#5
    I have killed more than I could eat

                            D5
I live in a house filled with  bones

C#5
    But now the rain doesn't fall

D5
    And the wells are running brackish and dry

C#5
    We stare out across the shrivelling fields

       D5
At the pitiless blue of the pitiless sky
[Chorus]
    B5
Bad harvest is come, we're gathering dust

     D5                   B5
The scavenger birds are returning

      B5
La Muerte parades through the capital streets

                D5                          B5
Soon they'll be hunting for witches for the burning
[Verse 2]
C#5
    I can hear in the far-off distance

                                  D5
The sound of the men making ready    to come

C#5
    I can hear them saddling horses

                                    D5
And the sound of the hounds howling scenting the kill in the air

C#5
    I can taste fear on my tongue

D5
   I can feel fear in my heart

C#5
    We'll be running and stumbling through the thick dark woods

            D5
Through the barren fields through the empty towns
[Chorus]
    B5
Bad harvest is come and the wars they are lost

    D5                     B5
Whatever is left will be returning

     B5
La Muerte parades through the capital streets

                D5                           B5
Soon they'll be hunting for witches for the burning
[Bridge]
            C5                 B5
Beneath the towering clouds of rusting red

       C5                    B5
As the sun bleeds into the horizon

    C5                           B5
The churches of the new gods are closing their doors

        C5                B5
And the hard old gods are vengeance-bent on their returning
[Intro] C#5 D5 E5 [Bridge]
    C#5
The gardens of the ruined towers glow with burning crosses

          D5
While the kings are in their counting houses counting out their losses

C#m                                                    D5
   Trust to the stories, my love - it's what they are for what's happening now has happened before
[Chorus]
    B5
Bad harvest is come, we're gathering dust

     D5                   B5
The scavenger birds are returning

      B5
La Muerte parades through the capital streets

            D5             B5
Whatever is left will be returning

                   C5                           B5
And now they'll be hunting for witches for the burning

                C5                     B5
They'll be hunting for witches for the burning

                C5                     B5
They'll be hunting for witches for the burning

                C5
They'll be hunting for witches for the burning
