Verse 1:
Em                                  Am       C          Em
Said the Thief to the Moon, "I'll extinguish your light soon,
            Am     C       G                           B                     Em
I'll put an end to all the light that you shed on this world in its darkened state."

Verse 2:
Em                                Am          C        Em
Said the Moon to the Thief, " You know not of what you seek,
       Am       C        G                        B                                 Em
you'll doom the world to wander the night with no light to guide the paths that men seek."

*(Do this when transitioning from EM to AM, recommend using your third finger to make
transitioning to the other cord smoother.)

Chorus 1:
         Am C    Am                          Em
"Oh, but all the wealth in the world will be mine...
          Am    C  Am                    Em
without a means of defense for all those blind.
         Am C          Am             Em
My very existence is a race to attain wealth,
        B                                                Em
for the thief's only loyalty in life is to the devil and himself."

Chorus 2:
                Am          D      Am           Em
"The earth will rise up and devour all that you are.
                    Am    D          Am           Em
The skies will call forth thunderous storms from afar.
            Am             D                Am          Em
When you're dead, there'll be no grave to remember your name.
         B                                                Em
For your greed brings your end and there's no one but yourself to blame.
