[Intro]
Em             G
Spare me the night

          Am
trampled upon by submission

  Em                     G
Amassed within one's own inhibition

          Am
Where the only prohibition is love

Em             G
Spare me the night

          Am
trampled upon by submission

  Em                     G
Amassed within one's own inhibition

          Am                       Em  G  Am
Where the only prohibition is lo-o-ove

     Em  G  Am
Lo-o-ove
[Verse]
Em                                D
Children outcry, "Grandfather sky"

C                            Am
Rivers surviving through her eye

Em                                D
We certified, how you falsified

C                                Am
The beauty of a moth turned butterfly, butterfly
[Pre-Chorus]
Em             G
Spare me the night

          Am
trampled upon by submission

  Em                     G
Amassed within one's own inhibition

          Am
Where the only prohibition is love
[Chorus]
Ab               Eb               Bb           Cm
We are being sacrificed by our own suspicions

We are being sodomized by repetitions
[Verse]
Em                                D
Oceans calcified, egos gratified

    C                            Am
I won't be crucified nor terrified, I'm not terrified

    Em                                    D
Before we say goodbye, no need to falsify

    C                            Am
The beauty of a moth turned butterfly, butterfly
[Pre-Chorus]
Em             G
Spare me the night

          Am
trampled upon by submission

  Em                     G
Amassed within one's own inhibition

          Am
Where the only prohibition is love

[Interlude] Em G Em C D [Bridge]
Em                        G    
A dark gray matter of fact sky

Em                            C            D
Nannies our nights with our half sister moon

Cm                        Bb       Ab               
Why can't we switch automatically

    Cm    Bb           Ab
To eco-centric persuasions

Cm                        Bb   Ab
Why can't we ditch autocracy

    Cm                Bb   Ab
For eco-centric persuasions now

We are being sodomized by repetitions
