Parts III - VI Transcribed by Cory (Eyewitness) D5 Still wait ing for my sav-iour, storms tear me limb from limb C5 D5 my fingers feel like seaweed. I'm so far out I'm too far in. D5 I am a lonely man, my solitude is true, C5 D5 my eyes have borne stark witness and now my nights are numbered, too. C5 A5 B5 I've seen the smiles on dead hands, E5 C5 A5 the stars shine, but they're not for me. D5 I prophesy disaster and then I count the cost... C5 D5 I shine but, shining, dying, I know that I am almost lost. D5 On the table lies blank paper and my tower is built on stone; C5 D5 I only have blunt scissors, I only have the bluntest home. C5 A5 B5 I've been the witness and the seal of death E5 C5 A5 lingers in the molten wax that is my head. D5 When you see the skeletons Bb5 of sailing-ship spars sinking low Ab5 You'll begin to wonder if the points of all the ancients myths G5 D5 are solemnly directed straight at you... D5 No time now for contrition, the time for that's long past, C5 D5 the walls are thin as tissue and if I talk I'll crack the glass. C5 A5 B5 So I only think on how it might have been, E5 C5 A5 locked in silent monologue, in silent scream. D5 I am much too tired to speak Bb5 and as the waves crash on the bleak Ab5 stones of the tower I start to freak G5 D5 and find that I am overcome.... (S.H.M.) G5 "Unreal, unreal" ghost helmsmen scream and fall in through the sky, G5 not breaking through my seagull shrieks - no breaks until I die. A5 The spectres scratch on window-slits, B5 the hollowed faces and mindless grins C5 A5 A5 Ab5 G5 F#5 are only intent on destroying what they've lost. G5 I crawl the wall till steepness ends in the vertical fall; G5 my pain has sailed into the sea -no joking hopes at dawn. A5 White bone shine in the iron-jaw mask, B5 lost mastheads pierce the freezing dark C5 A5 A5 and parallel my isolated tower... G5 F5 E5 no paraffin for the flame, D5 C5 B5 A5 no harbour left to gain.

A5 The maelstrom of my memory B5 is a vampire and it feeds on me; C5 C5 A5 now, staggering madly, over the brink I fall.

E5 A5 A5 A5 G5 F5 I scan the horizon, E5 A5 A5 A5 G5 F5 D5 A5 B5 I must keep my eyes on all parts of me. C#5 F#5 F5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 Looking back on the years C#5 F#5 F5 C5 C#5 Eb5 it seems that I have lost my way: Bb5 Bb5 A5 Like a dog in the night I have run to a manger, F5 E5 now I am the stranger I stay in. C#5 Eb5 E5 Ah, well. C#5 F#5 F5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 All of the grief I have seen C#5 F#5 F5 C5 C#5 Eb5 leaves me chasing solitary peace; Bb5 Bb5 A5 F5 But I hold experience in my head. E5 A5 A5 A5 G5 F5 I'm too close to the light,. E5 A5 A5 A5 G5 F5 I don't think I see right, D5 A5 B5 for I blind me. (The clot thickens) C5 B5 C5 G5 Where is the God that guides my hand?
