[Prologue]
"O' [Am]God of earth and [F]altar bow [G]down and hear our [Am]cry
[G]Our [Am]earthly rulers [F]falter, our [G]people drift and [Am]die
[G] The [Am]walls of gold en[F]tombe us, the [G]swords of scorn di[Am]vide
G Am F G Am *
Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride."
(from O God of Earth and Altar by G. K. Chesterton)

[Verse 1]
[Am]Just a babe in a [Fmaj7]black abyss,
No [C]reason for a [Gadd4/B]place like this
The [Am]walls are cold and [Fmaj7]souls cry out in [C]pain [Gadd4/B]
[Verse 2]
An [Am]easy way for the [Fmaj7]blind to go,
A [C]clever path for the [Gadd4/B]fools who know
The [Am]secret of the [Fmaj7]hanged man - the[C] smile on his [Gadd4/B]lips
[Cborus]
[Am] The light [G]of the [Am]blind, [C]you'll [D]see
The [F]venom [G]tears my [Am]spin[G]e
Am C D F G Am *
The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see

[Verse 3]
She [Am]came to me with a [Fmaj7]serpent's kiss
As the [C]eye of the sun r[Gadd4/B]ose on her lips
[Am]Moonlight catches [Fmaj7]silver tears I [C]cry[Gadd4/B]
[Verse 4]
[Am]So we lay in a [Fmaj7]black embrace
And the [C]seed is sown in a [Gadd4/B]holy place
And I [Am]watched and I [Fmaj7]waited for the d[C]awn..[Gadd4/B].
[Cborus]
[Am] The light [G]of the [Am]blind, [C]you'll [D]see
The [F]venom [G]tears [Am]my spi[G]ne

The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see...

[Prologue]
[G]Bind [Am]all of us [F]together, a[G]blaze with hope and [Am]free

[G]The [Am]time has come to [F]close your eyes and [G]still the wind and [Am]rain
G Am F G Am *
For the one who will be king, the watcher in the ring...
