Let me speak, [G]
[D] let me spit out my [Bm] bitterness
[D] [A] Born of [G] grief and nights without [D] sleep
Then the string flushed
[A] [D]
Do [G] you have eyes?
[D] Can you see like mankind [Em] sees?
[Bm] [A] Why [Bm] have you soured [D] and curdled me?
[G] Oh, you [Bm] tireless watcher
[G]
[D] What have I done [Em] to you?
Now you make [Bm] everything I dread
[D] And [D] everything I fear Come true
[A]
[G] Once I was blessed
I [D] was awaited like [E] the rain
[B] Like [Bm] [A]
[G] eyes for the blind
[D] Like feet for the lame
[A]
[G] Kings heard my words
[D]
And they sought out my [Em] company
But now [A] the janitors [Bm] of Shadowland
[D] Flick their brooms at me
[G] Oh, [A]
you [Bm] tireless watcher
What have I done [Em] to you?
[Bm] Now you make [G] [Bm] everything I dread
[A] And everything I [D] fear
Come true
Man is the sire of Skarlo
[A] [D]
[A]
[B]
I've lost all taste for [D] life
[G] Of all complaints
Tell me, why do you starve the faithful?
Why [D] do you crucify [A] the saints?
[Bm] And you let the wicked prosper
You [Em] let their children frisk like deer
And [A] my loves are [Bm] dead or dying
[D] But they don't come near
We don't despise your chastening
God is [B] correcting you [G]
all
And look who comes
[D] To counsel my [Bm] deepest stress
For [A] all these [Bm] harmless positions
[D] For carelessness
For all this frantic, heartless wind
Filling our ears with trash
[G]
Breathtaking ignorance
[D] Adding insult to [Bm] injury
They [A] come blaming [Bm] And shaming [D] Shattering me
This pain and wish is too soon wise
Man boasts [G] of us as a [A] fool
Oh, you [Bm] tireless watcher
[G]
[D] What have I [Em] done to you?
[D] That you [G] make everything [Bm] I dread
[A] And everything I [D] fear
And still, we don't despise your chastening
[A] [D]
[G]
[Em]
Already on a bed of [G] sighs and screams
And still [Bm] you torture me with visions
You [D] give me terrifying [A] dreams
[Bm] Better I was carried
[G] [Em] From the womb straight to the grave
[A] I see the [Bm] diggers waiting
[D] They're leaning on their spades
Man is the sire of sorrow
[D]
Sure as the sparks [A] are sent
[G] Where is hope?
[D] Why are you wondering
[Em] What went wrong?
[Bm] [A]
Why [Bm] give me light
[G] Than live this dark [D] without a dawn?
Evil is sleeping on our knees
Hiding under [B] your tongue
[G]
Show your face
But a long fall from [D] grace
Help me [Em] understand
[A]
What [Bm] is the reason [G] for your [D] hairy hair?
You're stumbling and shagging
You have no name now
Was [G] it the sins of [Bm] my youth?
[G]
[D] What have I [Em] done to you?
That you [G] make everything [Bm] I dread
And [A] everything I [D] fear
And still, I am guiltless, wait so greatly
[G] Everything [Bm] I dread [A] and everything I [D] fear
Come true
Man is the sire of sorrow
Oh, you [G] make [Bm] everything I dread
[A] And everything I [D] fear
Come true
[D] let me spit out my [Bm] bitterness
[D] [A] Born of [G] grief and nights without [D] sleep
