Em                    Am/C
"alas my love you say goodbye
Em/B                    Am
wipe the poison from my brow
Em                       Am/C
alas my love this guilty night
Em/B                         Am
it gives me up like a foster child
and in this moment I take my vow
at these angels sleeping at my feet
Am7            Em9                    
and in this moment you do not know how
Am7                    E5-F#5-G5                 
how my spirit wants to flee."
Am7                       Em      
You see what was one man, against the night
Am7                                            C-B--E5-E5-E5-E5
taking on a multitude that had left him high and dry
Em                              
no candle burning vigil could light the way,  
                        E5-E5-E5-E5
darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite
Em                                   E5-E5-E5-E5
he wrestled until morning with human souls
Em                           
and dark angels
Em           E5-E5-E5-E5
and there he finished his work
Em
on the third day.

remember.
