Shadowland - Sarah Slean
The Baroness (2008)
Transcribed by Kristilyn
Ab
Cm7
I have been to the shadowland
Ab
I heard the empty call
Cm7/F
of hatred, anorexia
B
Misery and alcohol
Cm7
By their hearths I warmed myself
Ab
To escape from the winter years
Cm7/F
Until I saw in the window
B
Myself crying fire-coloured tears
Cm
Love, the only alchemy
Ab
Love, the killer of despair
F
Love, the patient samurai
B
Love, the armour angels wear
Ab
Love
Cm7
They turned away the prophet
Ab
Because she was young and full of longing
Cm7/F
Instead they turned to the magistrate
B
Who was busy yawning
Cm7
And they try to sell me holy books
Ab
But I can see their eyes are wild
Cm7/F
I caught them pouring shame and fear
B
Into the perfect vessel of a child
Cm
Bue love's the only alchemy
Ab
Love, the killer of despair
F
Love, the true nobility
B
Love, the armour angels wear
Cm
Love
Ab
Love will make your eyes clear
Cm7/F
The order of the universe
