The Premonition:

F C#
                C#m
Remember when I told you how my
F#m
Kin is different in some ways?



C#m
And how you should not fall in love
F#m
With someone like me, anyway
A          E       F#m        C#m
Between the lines, people see signs
A                   E    F#m          C#m
When they feel the sear, every day is fear
A       Amaj7       A6
And one night their torch will
E         D             G#
Find the girl without a name
        A
And the one who has her
F#
Love is no more safe

B                                  C#m
And until I get my peace I'm but a shade

A F#m C#m A G#
C#m  A F#m G#


The Witch-Hunt:

G#m             F#               E            D#
The sun lit the White Mountain's snow covered peaks
        G#m          F#          E         D#
There I see you, amongst the good people, suffering
           G#m      F#        D#        E
She is the One, the unwanted, decidedly so
G#m         F#  D#         E  B
'Cause she makes our children cry
       A            G#m     F#
It's a fact, she is exactly that!
     B         A              G#m           F#
A harbinger of death from the World of Witchcraft
           E           G#m           F#              D#   E
And she's feeding them cakes and her ale to this innocent boy
G#m      E            G#m  F#
And her magic brings dismay


Exposing The Heathen:

A C

B                 A   (C B)            A      (C B)
I hear her in the wind
the bane of our town
              A        (C B)       E
Come with me, father
I'm to expose a heathen

E          A
In my home town
B
No one's safe now
E                 D    A
Young love's been forbidden
B                                         Bm
For five-fold kisses, my only love had to die


Envy:

Bm
                    A                Bm       F#
Your crops are all flourishing, so what's the catch?
       Bm       A                  F#
I know what you are, the new evil unhatched
   G           Bm              A           F#
As sure as the dawn, they will hear what I know
              E              F#           B
And recognize you, and you'll be cleansed too


The Fear:

B            A
For the good, trusting people in town
          F#           B
In their fear-stricken hearts
       A           G#m           F#
Seeing skyclad's a sign like the Deathaura
E             G#m       F#                          E
Every night, so painful's the memory of love in the dark
     G#          F#                             A
One wheel of the year ends their short lives in fear

B                 A   (C B)              A       (C B)
I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town
              A (C B)      B
Come with me, oh, father the heathen is exposed


The Grudge:

                      F#m
In the age of burning times, you saved my life
       G               E
  The blaze grew ever higher
 B                        F#m
I was your Cunning Man   hiding in the light
    G                  Em - E
Now your land shall go sour

         E          C#m      B
Your own fears will destroy everything
B                      C#m         B
Envy consumes all, and "thou shall not
B         C#m     F#m
Though it hurts
I must tell you
F#m - C#m - B
I am truly the One
Bm
  Behind it all

🎸 Solo:

Bm Em A
(key change)

The Curse:
       D#m
In the hands of time we all will die
                                   Cm
The dead of night will devour your child
    D#m
The creation o' beliefs that you've been fed
                           Cm              C
The fear, the unknown, the poison loved by death


The Flames:

C
       Gm                G#
In the cool of the night air
              F
Flames purify minds, where
       C            Gm
Almost anyone could be the next
G#                          F          Fm
Unless morning finds all of them - - - somehow hexed

Endless Inquisition:


( Together
Today
For All Eternity)

C#m
I remember how you told me

Your kin's different, on that sunny day?
C#m
You made me smile
G#m               A
'Cause I was just about to say the same thing

A E F#m C#m

A          E       F#m        C#m
So deeply entwined, love of a lifetime

A                             E                  D
But they paid someone to say their torment has a name
    A                         F#m                   C#m
And after all these years we get to be together for all eternity

C#
