G                         C       G 
Was there nothing but the hush of night? 
C     G             Em      G  
Had a boat; don't remember where. 
G                          C        G 
Did you flee from what was said and seen? 
Em           C              G 
Truth's not true under the light of lies. 
Em         C         G 
Raise your sword and shield 

G                            C        G 
Was there more than just the prose of night? 
C     G              Em      G           
Had a grave; don't remember where. 
G                         C      G             
Beaten down awhile I lift up my prayer. 
Em       C            G             Em     C          G           
Broken promises have set the snare; both sincere and not. 

G                         C       G             
Was there nothing but the blessed night? 
C         G               Em      G          
Had some gold but don't remember where. 
G                           C       G       
When does faith lift up its head so high? 
Em     C                      G            Em     C      G               
Oh, my Lord, won't you please tell me why faith bestows power? 

G                         C       G                
Was there nothing but the hush of night? 
C      G              Em         G           
Had a treasure but I don't know where. 
G                          C        G         
Did you flee from what was said and seen? 
Em        C                G                      
Yes, the good was not without the bad.    
Em          C        G                   2X 
Raise your sword and shield.
