Guitar chords with lyrics
Key: Em 🤘 Intro: Am Dm Am G Am Dm Em C G Am Dm Am G Am Dm Em C G 🤘 Verse 1: D Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky C
Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes
D C
I have dealt in mysteries and trickery of light to entertain
C
Looked into the abyss, called it by its name
Gm Bb C Bb F
I have plundered time itself, put the world in-side it
Gm Bb C Bb F
I'm the mysteries, day and night, divide it
Am C D C G
A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me
Am C D C G
Know the secrets, you shall not deride us
🤘 Pre-Chorus:
Dm Bb C Gm Bb
My dreams of empire from my frozen queen
C Dm
Will come to pass
Bb C Gm Bb
Know me, the Magus, I am Dr. Dee
F Dm
And this is my house
Em G D C Bm Em G D
I am the master of the tides
Em G
I shame the mirror in my sight
D C Bm Am Em
What random music of the spheres
G D
Across the years
🤘 Chorus:
C Em
Know this
D C Em
I will return to this land
D C Em
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
D C
Chain up the demons set free

Strange alchemy

🤘 Verse 2:
D
Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame
C
Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names
D C
I curse you Edward Kelley, your betrayal for eternity is damned
C
Know you speak with demons, you cannot command
Gm Bb C Bb F
Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded
Gm Bb C Bb F
Burning by the Mortlake shore my house, my books inside it
Am C D C G
You have taken up my wife and lain beside her
Am C D C G
Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning

My dreams of empire from my frozen queen

Will come to pass

And this was my house

But now through ignorance and fear

I cast a shadow through the years
