Thinking little of the game

In the presence of the night

The quiet prophet

Gathers up his papers for the fire

He alone will read the message
    A minorAm        DmDm   G+G
In the words that he has burned

Belladonna tries the door

To find the room is empty

And she coldly rakes the ashes
    A minorAm        DmDm  G+G
For the love that she has spurned
