I will give the secrets you request and you will be the one to sacrifice

so lay your olive arms across my breast and sing the poems, free the butterflies

 chorus

G                                   D

Pray your gods who ask you for your blood

G                                          D

For they are strong and angry jealous ones

G                             D    A   G

Or lay upon my altar now your love

G

I fear my time is short

G

There are armies moving close

G

Be quick, my love

[verse -- same riff]

I feel my body weakened by the years As people turn to gods of cruel design

Is it that they fear the pain of death Or could it be they fear the joy of life?

 chorus

G                                   D

Pray your gods who rule you by your fears

G                                         D

For they are quick and ruthless punishers

G                             D    A  G

Or lay upon my altar now your love

G

I fear my day is done

G

There are armies moving on

G

Be quick, my love
