The Death of Love

The Death of Love: Chords

Intro:
REm

Parlato:
Her penultimate sighs called softly 
on the kindling wind
Her saintly eyes filling with tears, 
lifting with truth
And then a golden flash like the onset of heaven
Leaving her screams breaking my heart
And in the grip of fire I knew the death of love

REm         SIb    SOLm

REm
 Where will you be when they tense for warfare?

What will you see with your innocence there?
SIb
Where will you be my darling?
SOLm
 Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
REm
Where will you be when God is glorifying?

There we will be between the dead and dying
SIb
Where will you be my darling?
SOLm                                     REm
Where will you be when God is glorifying?

LA                           SIb             REm
Prophecies and glory forge a massive disdain
          LA
For lying passive in the shadows 
           SIb          REm
whilst the enemy reigns
  LA                        SIb            REm
Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
     LA                   SIb    
By command of the king of heaven... 

REm         SIb    SOLm

REm
 Where will you be when they're vilifying?

How will they see when the truth is blinding?
SIb
Where will you be my darling?
SOLm
 Where will you be when they're vilifying?
REm
Where will you be when the dark is rising?

How will you keep from it's terrorizing?
SIb
Where will you be my darling?
SOLm                                       SIb      
Where will you be when the dark is rising?

REm

LA                              SIb            REm
Burning was the sunset like the portent of doom
       LA
On the saintly iron maiden 
       SIb                
as she fell from her wound
    REm
But visions and ambition 

never listened to submission
       LA
And as she was on a mission 
         SIb
from the highest above
   REm
To Lord upon the slaughter 

like a sword through hissing water
     LA                                    SIb
She arose where archers sought her for the death, 

             SIm    RE    SOL  FA#m7
the death of love
    LA                 SIm    RE    
The righteous death of love
    SOL       FA#m7    LA
The righteous death of love
SIm                    LA/DO#
Gilles adored her drama, 
    RE
her suit of pure white armor
SOL                FA#m7        LA            SIm
Blazed against the English in a torrent of light
    LA/DO#  RE            
And as they rallied onto night
  SOL             RE/FA#  LA
A cancer fled his soul, dissolving

REm             REm7+
Framed amid the thick of fire
 REm9          REm
Aflame, a Valkyrie
SIb           SOLm    LA
 She made him click without desire
SIb                  LA         
 And in his eyes she swam a Goddess

REm    LA    REm    LA

SIm       LA/DO#    RE
 And even when they caught her breath
    SOL         FA#m7   LA
Her words would leave a scar
SIm         LA/DO# RE
 For only in the   grip of darkness
SOL      FA#m7  LA
 Will we shine amidst the brightest 

REm            SIb    SOLm
stars

REm
 How will you breathe 

when their wheels are turning?

How will you know if the sky is burning?
SIb
Where will you be my darling?
SOLm
 How will you breathe 
 
when their wheels are turning?
REm
Where will you be when Babel builds my fire?

Will you not flee and label me pariah?
SIb
Where will you be my darling?
SOLm                                       REm
Where will you be when they light my pyre?

 LA
Aligned with Joan in all 
           SIb                REm
that was enthroned and divine
   LA
He swore to score the crimes, 
         SIb                 REm
jackdaws poured on this dove
LA
Crimes he knew alone derived 
     SIb                REm
from minds of the blind
    LA                       
The church unfurled for murder perched 
 SIb              REm       
upon the death of love

                REm7+
Framed amid the thick of fire
 REm9          REm
Aflame, a Valkyrie
SIb              SOLm       LA
 She claimed the skies were lit with spires
SIb                  LA            REm
 And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
    REm7+                    REm9
And even when she fought for breath
                REm
Her words would leave a scar
SIb       SOLm   LA       
 For only in the grip of darkness
SIb             LA                  REm
 Will we shine amidst the brightest stars
