[Spoken]
E Pleading with Athos of the rock Em E In the ancient language which he spoke Em But I didn't even give a damn E Em Because all I wanted to do was just sit back and talk E D Talk about the restless winds that were blowing in my mind E That twisted all we grow as too thin E And feelings I had which I couldn't describe Em And the places I'd come within Em And in the chrome light I stood up and I just began E I'd sell my pride on a whim, let it blow E The righteous light that was guiding me still E And the man with the holy soul E D Impatience took a dim view of my words E And let me down again E I'm so dusty, laden with all that world-weary stars and reverends
[Sung]
[Verse]

Em E Oh those twisted corridors of power D In the ivory walls of hate Em Where the eagle flies so proudly Em E And I just can't, just can't wait G In the victim's mind, he's ready Em G He is ready to exploit the weakness Em E Em Of the century's greed and feebleness |Em And the lies they whisper Em To his brothers and sisters
[Chorus]
G A Em G A Please Jesus, oh I love you Em G A Em G Am Em Won't you come to stay E Em Mother Mary, oh Em Life is empty, I wanna Em Find some peace today

G Hannah hung around for the the rapture Em On the roam for forty years |G Am Em Of course no-one came, and you know I still live in fear G A Always waiting for the prince of seventy-two Em I was waiting for the world to fall apart, how about you? Em If Husain could have waited D G Em G Nava could have seen the stars in the sky Em E7 Because I've been waiting for you for fifty odd years E I've been waiting for you through these hopes and these tears Em G A Em I was waiting for you, I'm a-waiting for you
