Time slips by in the hourglass

All the candles are burning low

No more cradles and no more snow

In your goblet the wine is black

As a moonless night

Wet your lips before you kiss

The blazing light

Through the window you see the storm
Dm
That is gathering
Am
Painted gypsies on dappled horses

Are galloping
[Verse 6]
G Am
Through the trees in the howling wind
F G Am
Down the hills to the river bend

Shadow ghosts that are blind as night

Shrieking curses against the night

Daring you to come join their flight

And risk everything

There is nothing to hold you now

To your fault or mine

Fallen idols and martyred souls

Are the only kind

Feet of clay in the emerald skies
F G Am
Birds of prey when the dreamer dies
F G Am Dm
Perfect crosses perfect your lies

Burning saints in the flaming skies

Bet your life every promise dies

All that's left for you to try

Is risking everything
