Bm G There is a night when you've never seen Em F# There lives a woman as old as the trees Bm And I clawed my way G Em F# Through the waves just to have a look at her ancient face Bm G I said, "Bleed me dry, take the fear from my veins Em F# Infuse them with poison, arm me with pain Bm G Let every touch turn man to swine Em F# So not even the gods can take what is mine" Bm G I begged, "Choke my lungs, make me feel like I'll drown Em F# So the air I breathe, I can breathe without Bm G No cut and, no kill can still my lips Em F# I will never be carried over the Styx"
Bm Em By her feet, I knelt in the sand Em F# 'Til she lifted me up with a touch of her hand Bm Em And though her eyes had seen centuries Em F# I saw my own face staring back at me Bm G I said, "Bleed me dry, take the fear from my veins Em F# Infuse them with poison, arm me with pain Bm G Let every touch turn man to swine Em F# So not even the gods can take what is mine" Bm G I begged, "Choke my lungs, make me feel like I'll drown Em F# So the air I breathe, I can breathe without Bm G No cut and, no kill can still my lips Em F# I will never be carried over the Styx" Bm G Call me hateful but don't twist my words Em F# I'm hateful because I fear the world Bm G This story of mine is not black nor white Em F# It just depends on if you're telling it right Bm G And I can't sit out the storm Em F# Pretend I'm not here at all Bm G I would rather drown in these waves Em F# Than drown in the pretense of being safe Bm G Bleed me dry, take the fear from my veins Em F# Infuse them with poison, arm me with pain Bm G Let every touch turn man to swine Em F# So not even the gods can take what is mine Bm G And I begged, "Choke my lungs, make me feel like I'll drown Em F# So the air I breathe, I can breathe without Bm G No cut and, no kill can still my lips Em F# I will never be carried over the Styx"
