Crucifixion Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

EmAnd the night comes again to the circle Dstudded sky

 The Gstars settle slowly, in loneliness they Bmlie

 'Till the Amuniverse explDodes as a fGalling star isEm raised

AmPlanets are Dparalyzed, Gmountains are Emamazed

 But they Amall glow Dbrighter from the Gbrilliance of the Emblaze

 With the Amspeed of inDsanity, then he Emdies.

In the green fields a turnin', a baby is born

His cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn

An assault upon the order, the changing of the guard

Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard

And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars

But to the silence of distance they are sworn

 So Emdance dance CdanceD

EmTeach us to be true

 Come dance dance Cdance

D'Cause we Emlove you

Images of innocence charge him go on

But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn

To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate

And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate

That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate

And God help the critic of the dawn.

So he stands on the sea and shouts to the shore,

But the louder that he screams the longer he's ignored

For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs

And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged

'Till the giant is aware, someone's pulling at his leg,

And someone is tapping at the door.

To dance dance dance

Teach us to be true

Come dance dance dance

'Cause we love you

Then his message gathers meaning and it spreads across the land

The rewarding of his pain is the following of the man

But ignorance is everywhere and people have their way

Success is an enemy to the losers of the day

In the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray

For blood is the language of the band.

The Spanish bulls are beaten; the crowd is soon beguiled,

The matador is beautiful, a symphony of style

Excitement is estatic, passion places bets

Gracefully he bows to ovations that he gets

But the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat

And saliva is falling from their smiles

So dance dance dance

Teach us to be true

Come dance dance dance

'Cause we love you

Then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar

The gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire.

First a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night

Truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light

All the (canons|heavens) are horrified, they stagger from the sight

As the cross is trembling with desire.

They say they can't believe it, it's a sacreligious shame

Now, who would want to hurt such a hero of the game?

But you know I predicted it; I knew he had to fall

How did it happen? I hope his suffering was small.

Tell me every detail, for I've got to know it all,

And do you have a picture of the pain?

So dance dance dance

Teach us to be true

Come dance dance dance

'Cause we love you

Time takes her toll and the memory fades

but his glory is broken, in the magic that he made.

Reality is ruined; it's the freeing from the fear

The drama is distorted, to what they want to hear

Swimming in their sorrow, in the twisting of a tear

As they wait for a new thrill parade.

The eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind

To the safety of sterility, the threat has been refined

The child was created to the slaughterhouse he's led

So good to be alive when the eulogy is read

The climax of emotion, the worship of the dead

And the cycle of sacrifice unwinds.

So dance dance dance

Teach us to be true

Come dance dance dance

'Cause we love you

And the night comes again to the circle studded sky

The stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie

'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised

Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed

But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze

With the speed of insanity, then he died.
