[C#m]
[G#m] [C#m]
Books on Moses, [C#] [B] bringing the storm in, raining [F#] the water, [G#m] [C#m] [G#] weeping in the [B] sun.
[C#m]
Books on [C#] Moses, got some [E] splinters, didn't [G#] you?
Books on Moses, from here right here back to [C#m] you,
[B] Flaming [G#] heart, it is free,
[C#m]
Dying world, at your
[C#] feet.
Books [G#] on Moses, [C#] [B] myth [G#] and truth,
[C#m] Books on Moses, [B] from [F#] here back [G#] to you,
[Bm] Heroes welcome, [F#] as Daniel [G#] came,
The serpent [F#] shudders, and the [C#] angels sing.
Books on [G#] Moses, [B] I hope you never give,
[C#m]
Yes, he knows it, [B] welcome him, your [F#] friend.
Books on [D#] Moses, [E]
[C#] [G#] bringing the storm [C#m] anew,
[B] Raining the water,
[G#] [A#] blood covering the [F#] sun.
Books [B] on Moses, [A#] from here [G#] back to you.
