[Verse 1]
BeEmfore the Great Burning, beBfore the wars A Gtime of nAmothing, but Ahills and shores ThAme smoke of Ccities, and Emfields of rye NBo eyes or voices beyond the sky Bm D Em BEmelievers roamed from tF#own to tBmown TChey spied every bAmaby born, up and down AmScouring the laEmnd for a child to use F#And ponderous, esoteric clues AEm crumbling black city, an outcast fF#ound FaGther a monAmster, mother under the ground AEm beggar, a mongrel, a boy with no shoes HeG fell to their hands to cage and abuse
[Chorus]
AnGd lo! in the mAmonth of darkness AnFd lo! his name destroEmyed AnGd lo! he still whispersA in silencAme AnCd lo! he went intFo the voiEmd
[Verse 2]
ThEmey were drawn to a light, aG waning gray HiGs face was bBmlank he had nothing Amto say HeC watched and waited, they pEmainted his eyes ThF#ey colored his clothing with pigments and dyes ThEmey found a path away F#from the light To an aGncient tree Awithered by blight A Emsacred altar, encircled in stones TwF#in blades of bronze, sDharpened on bones
[Chorus]
AnGd lo! in the mAmonth of darkness AndF lo! his name destroyEmed AnGd lo! he still whispersA in silencAme ACnd lo! he went inFto the voEmid
[Verse 3]
In Gthe Month of DCarkness, seBasons destroyed A rGitual killing bound his Aspirit to the Void EyEmes drained of Ccolor, the beggar no Emmore ToB become what the Believers waited for ThEmey set him outside, bBmeyond the spheres QGuiet as the Amnight, longA like the years HAme opened his eCyes, as Emblack as a dream TrBying to speak, his only words a Bmscream
[Chorus]
AnGd lo! in the mAmonth of darkness AndF lo! his name destroyEmed AnGd lo! he still whispersA in silencAme ACnd lo! he went inFto the voEmid
