Em B/E I began to warm and chill Em B/E To objects and their fields Em B/E A ragged cup, a twisted mop Em B/E The face of Jesus in my soup Em B/E Those sinister dinner deals Em B/E The meal trolley's wicked wheels Em B/E A hooked bone rising from my Em B/E food. All things good or ungood. E5 And the mercy seat is waiting E5/B And I think my head is burning E5 E5/B And in a way I'm yearning to be D5 D5/A done with all this measuring of D5 D5/A truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a F5 F5/C tooth, And anyway I told the C5 C5/G truth, And I'm not afraid to die. Em B/E Interpret signs and catalogue Em B/E A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog Em B/E The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind. Em B/E They are the sick breath at my hind Em B/E They are the sick breath at my hind Em B/E They are the sick breath at my hind Em B/E They are the sick breath gathering Em B/E at my hind. E5 E5/B I hear stories from the E5 E5/B chamber, How Christ was born into a E5 E5/B manger And like some ragged stranger D5 D5/A Died upon the cross, And might I D5 D5/A say it seems so fitting in its F5 F5/C way He was a carpenter by C5 C5/G trade, Оr at least that's what I'm Em B/E told. Em B/E Em B/E Like my good hand Em B/E I tattooed Е.V.I.L. across it's Em B/E brother's fist Em B/E That filthy five! They did Em B/E nothing to resist. E5 E5/B In heaven His throne is made of gold E5 E5/B The ark of His testament is E5 E5/B stowed, A throne from which I'm told all D5 D5/A history does unfold, Down here it's D5 D5/A made of wood and wire, And my F5 F5/C body is on fire C5 C5/G And God is never far away. Em B/E Into the mercy seat I climb Em B/E My head is shaved, my head is Em B/E wired, And like a moth that tries to D5 D5/A enter the bright eye, so I go D5 D5/A shuffling out life, Just to F5 F5/C hide in death a while C5 C5/G And anyway I never lied. Em B/E My kill-hand is called Е.V.I.L. Em B/E Wears a wedding band that's GООD, Em B/E 'Tis a long suffering shackle Em B/E Collaring all that rebel blood E5 And the mercy seat is waiting E5/B And I think my head is burning E5 E5/B And in a way I'm yearning to be D5 D5/A done with all this measuring of D5 D5/A truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a F5 F5/C tooth, And anyway I told the C5 C5/G truth, And I'm not afraid to die. E5 And the mercy seat is burning E5/B And I think my head is glowing E5 E5/B And in a way I'm hoping to be D5 D5/A done with all this weighing up of D5 D5/A truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a F5 F5/C tooth, And anyway I told the C5 C5/G truth, And I'm not afraid to die. E5 And the mercy seat is glowing E5/B And I think my head is smoking E5 E5/B And in a way I'm hoping to be D5 D5/A done with all these looks of disbeleif D5 D5/A An eye for an eye and a tooth for a F5 F5/C tooth, And anyway I there was no C5 C5/G proof, Nor a motive why. E5 And the mercy seat is smoking E5/B And I think my head is melting E5 E5/B And in a way I'm helping to be D5 D5/A done with all this twisting of D5 D5/A truth, An eye for an eye and a truth for a F5 F5/C truth, And anyway I told the C5 C5/G truth, And I'm not afraid to die. E5 And the mercy seat is melting E5/B And I think my blood is boiling E5 E5/B And in a way I'm spoiling all the D5 D5/A fun with all this truth and consequence D5 D5/A An eye for an eye and a truth for a F5 F5/C truth, And anyway I told the C5 C5/G truth, And I'm not afraid to die. E5 And the mercy seat is waiting E5/B And I think my head is burning E5 E5/B And in a way I'm yearning to be D5 D5/A done with all this measurement of D5 D5/A proof, A lie for a lie and a truth for a F5 F5/C truth, And anyway there was no C5 C5/G proof, And I'm not afraid to tell a lie. E5 And the mercy seat is waiting E5/B And I think my head is burning E5 E5/B And in a way I'm yearning to be D5 D5/A done with all this measurment of D5 D5/A proof, An eye for an eye and a truth for a F5 F5/C truth, And anyway I told the C5 C5/G truth, And I'm afraid I told a lie.
