The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer
GmTorn apBbart by chains of hellC Dm
One last perfect verse is still the same old song
Oh, Christ, how I hate whatGm I have becoBbme Gm
Take me home..Bb.. C
DmGet away, run away, fly awayC
DmLead me astray to dreamer's hideaway C
EbI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
BbI cannot die
I, a wA5horAb5e foG5r tGb5he cF5oldE5 woEb5rld
DmForgive me, I have but two faces C
DmOne for the world, one for God, save me C
GmI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
BbI cannot die, I, a whoreF for the cold worldC
DmMy home was there n' then
Those meadows of Heaven
Adventure-filled days Gm
One with every Bbsmiling face C Dm
Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
GmTell me onBbce my heart goes right Gm
Take me home..Bb.. C

Cut in half - infanticide

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
DmThe morning dawned upon his alter
Remains of the dark passion play
GmPerformed by his friends without shame
BbSpitting on his grave as they came
DmGet away, run away, fly awayC
DmLead me astray to dreamer's hideaway C
EbI cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
BbI cannot die
