The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer
Gm Bb C Dm
Torn apart by chains of hell
One last perfect verse is still the same old song
Gm Bb Gm
Oh, Christ, how I hate what I have become
Bb C
Take me home....
Dm C
Get away, run away, fly away
Dm C
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
Eb
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb
I cannot die
A5 Ab5 G5 Gb5 F5 E5 Eb5
I, a whore for the cold world
Dm C
Forgive me, I have but two faces
Dm C
One for the world, one for God, save me
Gm
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
Bb F C
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Dm
My home was there n' then
Those meadows of Heaven
Gm
Adventure-filled days
Bb C Dm
One with every smiling face
Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Gm Bb Gm
Tell me once my heart goes right
Bb C
Take me home....
Dm C
Get away, run away, fly away
Dm C
Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway
Eb
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more

I cannot die

I, a whore for the cold world

Forgive me, I have but two faces

One for the world, one for God, save me

I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

Goodnight kiss for a child in time

Swaying blade......my lullaby.....

One the shore we sat and hoped

Under the same pale moon

Whose guiding light chose you

Chose you all...................
"I'm afraid, I'm so afraid...............
Eb
I just wish the tide would catch me first
D Gm
And give me a death I always longed for."

Second robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half - infanticide
The world will rejoice today

Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he's home in hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell tolling for his farewell
Dm
The morning dawned upon his alter
Remains of the dark passion play
Gm
Performed by his friends without shame
Bb
Spitting on his grave as they came
Dm C
Get away, run away, fly away

Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway

I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more

Be still, my son

You're home

Oh, when did you become so cold?

The blade will keep on descending

All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore

Try to save them all, bleed no more

You have such oceans within

In the end, I will always love you
"The beginning..."
