D5
Well I recall his parting words
                   G5
Must I accept his fate?
    A5     D5         G5          A5       
Or take myself far from this place
              D5
I thought I heard a black bell toll
                   G5
A little bird did sing
     A5       D5
Man has no choice
     G5         A5         D5
When he wants everything

[Chorus:]
       D5     A5          G5      D5
We'll rise above the scarlet tide
C5                    A5            G5
That trickles down through the mountain
      G5    D5              A5          D5
And separates the widow from the bride

(same as first verse)
Man goes beyond his own decision
Gets caught up in the mechanism
Of swindlers who act like kings
And brokers who break everything
The dark of night was swiftly fading
Close to the dawn of the day
Why would I want him
Just to lose him again

[Chorus 2x]
