Chords with lyrics

A minorAm       C majorC   A minorAm      Am/Bb A minorAm   C majorC   A minorAm
Into the Abyss I'll fall - the eye of Horus
A minorAm       C majorC   A minorAm       Am/Bb A minorAm  C majorC A minorAm
Into the eyes of the night - watching me go
A minorAm           C majorC   A minorAm
Green is the cat's eye that glows -
   Am/Bb A minorAm   C majorC A minorAm
In this Temple
A minorAm      C majorC    A minorAm     Am/Bb A minorAm  C majorC A minorAm
Enter the risen Osiris - risen again.

Verse:

A minorAm        C majorC    A minorAm     Am/Bb A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
When I was living this lie - Fear was my Game
A minorAm          C majorC   A minorAm
People would worship and fall -

Drop to their knees.
A minorAm
So bring me the blood and
C majorC    A minorAm       Am/Bb A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Red wine for the one to succeed me,
A minorAm         C majorC   A minorAm
For he is a man and a God -
A minorAm     Am/Bb  A minorAm     C majorC  A minorAm
And He will die too.
