Am           
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice

Am             Dm                 F          C
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow sorrow and greed

Am        
You bathed in my wine

Am
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme

Dm                       F         C
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds
[Chorus]
Am          C          Dm
Put a stake through my heart!

    Em                   C G
And drag me into sunlight

   Am    F
So awake for your greed

F         C       G   Em
As you're slaying the dreamer

Swansong for the Wish of Night

Our primrose path to hell is growing weed

Dumb kid living a dream

Romantic only on the paper

Am          Bb           C
Tell me why you took all that was mine!

Stay as you lay don't lead me astray!

Am          Bb           C

Stay as you lay don't lead me astray!

Wake up mow the weed

You'd be nothing without me

Take my life if you have the heart the heart to die

Dm
You bastards tainted my tool

Dm
Raped my words played me a fool

Dm                                          Eb F 
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be

Dm                     
The Great Ones are all dead

Dm
And I'm tired too

Dm
I truly hate you all!
