Verse 1:
E minorEm
Desert air on skin

The chill of empty space
G+G
The nomad's grin
              C majorC
The sand, the wave and the cold
          E minorEm
Will drive him back in

Will keep them close to him

Refrain:
       E minorEm
And they will hide inside
       G+G
Behind blind mirrors

Trembling in tents
C majorC
Hearts weak with fear

He knows
         E minorEm
He likes to keep them near

Verse 2:
       E minorEm
And at the night
             G+G
With a pride too big to swallow
          C majorC
And with leprous hands
             E minorEm
Has them hum and dance to him

Refrain:
             E minorEm
For they have boiled his faith
    G+G
Into abstraction
            C majorC
And coiled up in their sickrooms
                 E minorEm
Their bodies stir-stir-stirring in blankets

Verse 3:
             E minorEm
Like a mother's withered breasts
           G+G
They still set him to dreaming
      C majorC            E minorEm
Of quartering steel and of climbing fire

Refrain:
           E minorEm
With a dripping honey hole
            G+G
He'll be winning them over
           C majorC
And with calculated neglect
           E minorEm
He likes to know them there

Verse 4:
       E minorEm
And they will know

That they may only know
   G+G
The laws of Things
       C majorC
Never their meaning
      E minorEm
Only their laws

Refrain:
             E minorEm
And they will bury their holy blade
    G+G
Deep in devoted chests
      C majorC
And after such knowledge
  E minorEm
What forgiveness?

Verse 5:
    E minorEm
Desert air on skin

The chill of empty space
   G+G
The smell of emptied bodies
         C majorC
The sand, the wave
      E minorEm
And nothing

And nothing
