VERSES:
PLAY RHYTHM 1 (Both Guitars). Dave sticks fairly close to the
picking pattern but Adrian varies it sligthly. Dave's guitar has a
phaser on it and Adrians is chorused.
At the end of the verses in place of the Gsus4 chord of RHYTHM 1
slide up and down the bottom E string to cover up turning on the
distortion.

O God of Earth and Altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our early rulers falter
Our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
But take away our pride
Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The Secret of the Hangman - the smile on his lips
The light of the Blind - you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see
She came to me with a serpents kiss
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the Seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the Dawn
The light of the Blind - you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see
Bind us all together
Ablaze with Hope and Free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be King
Is the watcher in the Ring
It is You

VERSES:
PLAY RHYTHM 1 (Both Guitars). Dave sticks fairly close to the
picking pattern but Adrian varies it sligthly. Dave's guitar has a
phaser on it and Adrians is chorused.
At the end of the verses in place of the Gsus4 chord of RHYTHM 1
slide up and down the bottom E string to cover up turning on the
distortion.

O God of Earth and Altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our early rulers falter
Our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
But take away our pride
Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The Secret of the Hangman - the smile on his lips
The light of the Blind - you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see
She came to me with a serpents kiss
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the Seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the Dawn
The light of the Blind - you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see
Bind us all together
Ablaze with Hope and Free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be King
Is the watcher in the Ring
It is You
