[Intro] |Em |Em |Em |Em |Em |Em G | |G |G |C |C |C |Em [Verse 1]
EmDesert air on skin The chill of empty space GThe nomad's grin The sand, the wave and the Ccold Will drive him back Emin
Will keep them close to him [Refrain]
And they will Emhide inside Behind blind mGirrors
Trembling in tents
CHearts weak with fear He knows He likes to keep Emthem near
[Verse 2]
And at the niEmght With a pride too big to sGwallow And with leprous haCnds Has them hum and dance to Emhim
[Refrain]
For they have boiled his Emfaith Into abGstraction And coiled up in their sCickrooms Their bodies stir-stir-stirring inEm blankets
[Verse 3]
Like a mother's withered Embreasts They still set him to Gdreaming Of quarterinCg steel and of climbing Emfire
[Refrain]
With a dripping honey Emhole He'll be winning them oGver And with calculated nCeglect He likes to know them Emthere
[Verse 4]
And they will Emknow That they may only know The lGaws of Things Never their meCaning Only their lEmaws
[Refrain]
And they will bury their hEmoly blade Deep in Gdevoted chests And after sCuch knowledge WhatEm forgiveness?
[Verse 5]
Desert Emair on skin The chill of empty space The sGmell of emptied bodies The sand, the waveC And nothing Em
And nothing [Outro] Em G C Em
