| Eb | |
| They had been there from the start |
| Bb | |
| And the darkness still has work to do |
| Eb | |
| The knotted chord's untying |

| My grip is surely slipping |
| I think I've lost my hold |
| Yes I think I've lost my hold |
| I cannot get insurance any more |
| They don't take credit, only gold |
| Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see |
| You hold so tightly in your hand |
| And all the while the distance grows between you and me |
| I do not understand |
