The Church – Aura (Guitar)

   Em
We all came back from the war

   G6
I wish somebody would tell me the score

   D
We raked old Poseidon over the coals

   E
Shook his shells, shaked his shoals

   Em
Where can a soldier fix himself a drink

   G6
Forget the noise, forget the stink

   D
And the opium is running pretty low

   E
'Cause when the pain comes back, I don't want to know

   Em
Across yonder ocean the natives are fierce

   G6
Their ears are filled their teeth are pierced

   D
But it's not their spears that spill your breath

   E
They kill their enemies by loving them to death

   Em
We were on some battlefield

   G6
I felt something soft go through my shield

   D
I felt something warm enter my guts

   E
I was bleeding bad but there were no cuts

   Em
They captured three of us, took us back to their village

   G6
After a long long time I could decipher their language

   D
They worshipped Baal, they worshipped the sun

   E
They worshipped the son of the evil one

   Em
They were more than voracious, they sucked our ambition

   G6
They let me go on one condition

   D
That was when I came back to my native shore

   E
I tell you they don't want to play with us anymore

   Em
But a part of me will never be free

   G6
And the part that's free will never be me

   D
But a thing of love and beauty is in my head

   E
A message from our enemies, and here's what they said

   Em
They said that love equals hate

   G6
And death equals fate

   D
An enemy always equals an adorer

   E
But priest equals aura

   Em
Yeah, and life equals time

   G6
And time equals space

   D
And space equals sublime

   E
And human equals race

   Em
Oh and woman equals man

   G6
And pot equals pan

   D
The fauna ought to equal the flora

   E
But priest equals aura

   Em
And beginning equals the end

   G6
The end always equals the start

   D
But straight equals bent

   E
The mind sometimes equals the heart

   Em
And you equals me

   G6
The land equals the sea

   D
Richer equals poorer

   E
And priest equals aura
