Lotus Eaters by Jessica Law
Lotus Eaters
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D A
We stopped to take on water on a long laconic shore
G A
Broken and defeated by the searing scars of war
D A
When through the dusty darkness we glimpsed a glowing flame
G A A7
And soon the mild-eyed melancholy Lotus Eaters came
And they said
D G
Why the struggle? Watch the trees
D G A
They don't have to toil to drop their fruit or shed their leaves
D
What's to fight for?
G
All will fall
D G A
Mountains will crumble, time will claim the strongest city walls
A7
After all
[Chorus]
D G
You're with the Lotus Eaters now
A G
No need to worry how the world spins round
A D
No need to keep your head out of the clouds
D A G
Why cling to hope of homeward bound?
A G
'Cause here we've all you need, the Lotus leaves
A D
Will send you on a slumber sweet and sound
A7
So stick around
[Verse 2]
D
Stop! Wake up!
A
You're dead behind the eyes
G A
We haven't reached our home and there are battles still to fight
D A
What happened to the spark that fear and fury would ignite?
G A A7
I've lost you to the Lotus and its languid little lies
D
Stop! Wake up!
A
You're dead behind the eyes
G A
We haven't reached our home and there are battles still to fight
D A
What happened to the spark that fear and fury would ignite?
G A A7
I've lost you to the Lotus and its languid little lies
[Verse 3]
D
Let us stay here
G
What will last?
D G A
Nothing but fractured fragments of the dark and dreadful past
D
What's to fight for?
G
All will fall
D G A
Well, I say better to make a stand than stranded with no hope at all
A7
As they call
[Chorus]
D G
You're with the Lotus Eaters now
A G
No need to worry how the world spins round
A D
No need to keep your head out of the clouds
D A G
Why cling to hope of homeward bound?
A G
'Cause here we've all you need, the Lotus leaves
A D
Will send you on a slumber sweet and sound
A7
So stick around
[Chorus]
D G
You're with the Lotus Eaters now
A G
No need to worry how the world spins round
A D
No need to keep your head out of the clouds
D A G
Why cling to hope of homeward bound?
A G
'Cause here we've all you need, the Lotus leaves
A D
Will send you on a slumber sweet and sound
A7
So stick around
[Outro]
D G
World forgive me, I'm so tired
D G A
I searched inside me but the spark of fury had expired
A7
It transpired
D G
I'm with the Lotus Eaters now
A G
No need to worry now, though I'm not proud
A D
Let others make the world keep spinning round
D G
Forget the life you left behind
A G
Before the Lotus drives it from my mind
A D
I'll leave these words for followers to find
A7
Don't get entwined
D
You'll lose your mind...
