intro
ooooh
Bm
Bm G A
Down they fell like the children of Eden
Bm G A
Down they fell like the tower
G6 Bm E
As the land relinquished her ghost
Bm G6 A
Heed the sirens, take shelter, my lover
Bm G6 A
Flee the fire that devours
G6 Bm7
But the sight held me fixed
G6 A Em Bm G6
Like a bayonet against my throat (ooooh)
Bm G A
Neither plague or famine tempered my courage
Bm G A
Nor did raids make me cower
G6 Bm
But his translucent skin
G6 A
Made me shiver deep within my bones
Em Bm G6
ooooh
Bm A
It was a pale white horse
Bm A
With a crooked smile
Bm7 A G6
And I knew it was my time
A Bm G6
ooooh
A Bm G6
ooooh
Bm A
It was the raging storm
Bm A
Of a foreign war
Bm A G6
And a face I'd seen before
A Bm G6
ooooh (x5)
