Desolation

F# A E D F# A E D F# All along, she speaks in a whisper E Delicately crushing the future D                 In her mouth, her tongue is a creature C# With a trident fork                  F# Underneath the smiles and kind words E D You are breaking up into words that fly, C# Carrying your sparkling entrails out A Time is a fickle mistress B# She loves your shining distress A Time is the brightest diamond B# Cutting through your mind F# A Ah, desolation E D Come in a vessel of light F# A E Stride through the demarcation line D To the game inside F# A Ah, revelation E D Breaks like a collapsed lung F# A Ah, desperation E D Flares like a starting gun F# All along, you wonder and worry D                             C# And you dream of cradles and old yew trees F#              Underground, you're buried alive E And light is a line we save for the children D C# There is a tone that's ringing inside your head A Time is a fickle mistress B# With a wicked grin A Perception is inviting B# You to come on in F# A Ah, desolation E D Bursts like a warning fire F# A E Stride through the demarcation lines D To the breath inside F# A Ah, revelation E D Comes in a strangers mask A And the morning is outstanding B# You can breathe at last F# A E D F# A E D F# A E D A B# A B#
