 Marrow made a wife of Eve

But no one gave up a rib for me and mine

    Bm
My hearts did expose to the elements

                                      G   G
Calloused and untouched by a man's design

How lucky we are

 Brick and mortar between my bones

                                 G    G
Built a kingdom fierce and fortified

My name fading from the yellow page

                                  G   G
Stones are laid upon the mountainside

Never to be moved by the words of a liar
CHORUS:
     G             A
The dark doesn't frighten me

   Bm                D
I chose to close my eyes

       G   Bm      A       G
It is mine,  it is mi-i-i-ine

      G             A
The night doesn't frighten me

   Bm              D
I chose to let it thrive

It is mine,  it is mi-i-i-i-i-i-i-ine

 Time has changed the metaphor

                                G   G
Now, dust is not the origin of bone

All your ribs are still your own

Handed down a shield for your tender parts
