Capo 7

A5         D5
He was the rock of old
A5          D5
Carved and faced
A5          D5
Land of the cross
A5        D5
Drawn and traced
A5      D5
She of silk and lace
A5       D5
Soft as night
A5         D5
A crescent moon
A5        D5
Bathed in light

A5        C5        E5
Who would dare tear them apart?
A5         C5      E5
Who would try to halve this heart?

A5   D5        A5
How can we stand
D5            A5
To hold up a man
D5                A5
To choose in his hand
         D5            G5
Between two grains of sand

A5  D5      A5
How can we turn
D5               A5
To violence and burn
D5                A5
Forgot all we've learned
  D5         G5
To darkness return

It's been told before
I'll tell it again
How jealousy struck
And hate did gain

To plunder once
Once and for all
This cherished pearl
Till sorrow falls

They stole in and crept like thieves
A murder buried under autumn leaves

Repeat Chorus

Intro to 3rd Verse
B5 A5 D5 G5 C5 E5 A5 
D5 G5

Too pure to shine
In this world of sighs
Of butchers and crimes
Of laws and lies

But something of their love will remain
In the frozen drops of winter's rain
They're above us, there is no doubt
There is a light that won't go out
