[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Abm] He knows he must [Bbm] be near _ [E] He finds a [Ebm] long _ passageway
Lit [Fm] by a shadow and fear _ _ _ [B] Each step he takes, [Bbm] _ perfumes change
[Abm] From familiar fragrance [Bbm] to flavors strange [E] _ _ _
[Ebm] Magnificent chamber meets [F] his _ eye
[E] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ [B] _ Inside a [Bbm] long rose water pool, [Abm] _ disheartened by [Bbm] fine mist
_ _ [E] Stepping in the [Ebm] moist silence, with [Fm] a warm breeze, he's gentle kissed
_ _ [B] Thinking he is [Bbm] quite alone, [Abm] he enters the room as [Bbm] if for his own
_ [E] Ripples on the [Ebm] sweeping water, [Fm] reveal some company of thought
_ [Cm] There [Ab]
stands [Cm] a stylish, [Ab] daunting [Gm] his side, struck by [Ab] a beauty, [Fm] lifting [Eb] pride _
_ [Cm] _ Dream of millions, mixed [Ab] up in [Gm] memories, the smallest [Ab] notion, _ [Fm] filled with [Eb] grace
_ [F] _ [Gm] He's [Dm] in a place, [F] filled [C] with a [D] glowing heart
_ A _ _ [Gm] _ _
[F] beautiful sight, [C] a warning [F]
in the [C] silence [D] called _ _ _
Welcome, _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am]
we [E] are the laughing of [Bm] all [Gbm] the people
[Dbm]
Who _ [Abm] _ [A] _ love [E] you, _
[A] for the [E] one and [Gbm] only

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ Putting fear [Bbm] beside him, [Abm] he trusts in beauty [Bbm] blind
He [E] slips into all [Ebm] the nectar, leaving [Fm] his shredded clothes behind _
[B] With their tongues [Bbm] they taste and judge [Abm] _ _ all that [Bbm] is mine _
[E] They move in a [Ebm] series of caresses, [Fm] right up and down [E] my spine _
_ As _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Dbm] _ [B] _ they nibble [Bbm] the fruit of my flesh, [Abm] _ I feel [Bbm] no pain _
_ [E] _ Only _ [Ebm] imagine, that [Fm] a name would stay _ _
With [B] the first drop [Bbm] of my blood in their veins, [Abm] their faces are composed [Bbm] of mortal gains
[E] Their cries, [Ebm] we all have love [Fm] to _ raise
_ An _ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] _ empty [Cm] snake [Ab]-like body [Gm] floats, _ silent [Ab] sorrow, the empty [Eb] moat
_ _ _ [Cm] _
[Ab] A sickly [Eb] silence [Ab] fills [Gm] the room, the bitter [Ab] harvest of the [Fm] [Eb] dying bloom
_ _ [F] _ [Gm] Looking [Dm] for [F] motion, I know [C] I will [D] find _ _ _
A _ [Gm] smoke [Dm] that crawls [F] down, turning [C] pale, [F] which [G] I [D] raise to find
_ _ _ All [Gm] _ _ [D] I'm carrying, [Am] all the flesh [E] that remains, I [Bm] will take [Gbm] as my [Dbm] own
_ [Abm] _ _
[A] It [E] is the ship, I [A] thought, [E] the thing that no [Gbm] man shall [Dbm] release
