Em                    Am/C
"alas my love you say goodbye

Em/B                    Am
wipe the poison from my brow

Em                       Am/C
alas my love this guilty night

Em/B                         Am
it gives me up like a foster child

and in this moment I take my vow

at these angels sleeping at my feet

Am7            Em9                    
and in this moment you do not know how

Am7                    E5 F#5 G5                 
how my spirit wants to flee."

Am7                       Em      
You see what was one man, against the night

Am7                                            C B  E5 E5 E5 E5
taking on a multitude that had left him high and dry

Em                              
no candle burning vigil could light the way,  

                        E5 E5 E5 E5
darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite

Em                                   E5 E5 E5 E5
he wrestled until morning with human souls

Em                           
and dark angels

Em           E5 E5 E5 E5
and there he finished his work

Em
on the third day.


remember.
