       C5        
I have been to the shadowland
  C5 
I heard the empty call
   C5
of hatred, anorexia
C5             G5
Misery and alcohol

         C5
By their hearths I warmed myself
     C5
To escape from the winter years
        C5
Until I saw in the window
       C5                  G5
Myself crying fire-coloured tears

C5
Love, the only alchemy
C5
Love, the killer of despair
C5
Love, the patient samurai
C5                      G5
Love, the armour angels wear
C5        C5 
Love

     C5
They turned away the prophet
                C5
Because she was young and full of longing
             C5
Instead they turned to the magistrate
        C5        G5
Who was busy yawning

         C5
And they try to sell me holy books
          C5
But I can see their eyes are wild
              C5
I caught them pouring shame and fear
         C5                  G5
Into the perfect vessel of a child

C5
Bue love's the only alchemy
C5
Love, the killer of despair
C5
Love, the true nobility
C5                       G5
Love, the armour angels wear
C5       
Love

C5
Love will make your eyes clear
C5
The order of the universe
C5                      C5
The only reason we are here
