[Intro] Bm D Gmaj7 A [Verse 1]
Bm              A              G     A
I will give the secrets you request

     G               Em          Bm      A
And you will be the one to sacrifice

    Bm             A           Gmaj7     A
So lay your olive arms upon my breast

    G             C     D         Bm     A
Sing the poems, free the butterflies
[Chorus]
G                                    D
Pray your gods who ask you for your blood

    Bm                                  F#m
For they are strong and angry jealous ones

    G            A              D   A   Bm
Or lay upon my altar now your love

   G
I fear my time is short

            Em            F#m7
There are armies moving close

      C        Bm
Be quick, my love
[Instrumental] Bm A G A Bm A G A [Verse 2]
Bm               A              Gmaj7
I feel my body weakened by the years

     Gmaj7         Em              Bm    A
As people turn to gods of cruel design

Bm              A                 G      A
Is it that they fear the pain of death?

     G                 C               Bm
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?
[Chorus]
G                                    D
Pray your gods who hold you by your fear

     Bm                              F#m7
For they are quick and ruthless punishers

   G              A             D  A  Bm
Or lay upon my altar now your love

  G
I fear my day is done

             Em           F#m7
There are armies moving on

      C         Bm
Be quick, my love
[Instrumental] Bm A G A Bm A G A Dona nobis pacem
