Circles never stop themselves,
Dm       C
Nothing that you've ever held
Bb          F
Were you promised or reneged

And sometimes when you lose, you win.

Prisiclla, what'd you do?

When You come for me,

All these years you're here, you suffer quietly,
It's barbarous to think that?s fair
There?s no one who thinks of you
The game is gonna end right here
I'd help you to
Die, if I could, but...
I'd help you to die if I could , love
Some sacrifice anyway
Some sacrifice it all away.

And on the day we come it's over,

N.C.
One day you will learn
And you will burn like my heart burns
One day you will learn
And you will burn like my heart burns
Ghosts of all the selfish, vain
All the blindness, all the pain
All the fool and petty games
All the shallow all the same

Some speak about love, in a sweet way
Some sentiment of bliss and dream states
Some speak about love in a kind way,
Some sentiment of rapturous states.

Ab               Eb
Please, my angel, my angel
Fm              G
Please my angel, my angel
Ab
Please, my angel, my angel
Fm         G
Please my angel

And some sacrifice
Some sacrifice
Some sacrifice
Some sacrifice

I am the arm of execution
I am the trigger of your gun
I am the binding and the order
It's on this day you're duty?s done]

F                   Em
Please go back to berths of black
     Dm               C
To silent shores from me once more
          Bb                  F
Through veils and gates and seas of slate
      Gm                     C
And blood red mores where I'll see you once more

F        C
Circles never stop themselves,
Dm       C
Nothing that you've ever held
Bb          F
Were you promised or reneged
Ab
