Bm Dbm                          Gbm           Dbm
      Whalst angels strip him of cloak and crown

Bm Dbm                        Em
      Through bitter lips come   vile breath

Bm Dbm                  Gbm       Dbm       Bm       Dbm

      There will be no pity for him

Bm Dbm                          Gbm    Dbm
      We must kill him where he stands

Bm Dbm                    Em       Dbm
      No there will be no mercy for him

Bm Dbm            Gbm       Dbm      Bm        Em

I'm curious to know who's getting this tab.
