Tab2
This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

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
Bm F#m A
For they are strong and angry jealous ones
G A D A/C# Bm
Or lay upon my altar now your love
G
I fear my time is short
Em7
There are armies moving close
F#* C*
(single notes)
Be quick, my love
(Repeat Intro Pattern x2)
Verse
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 hold you by your fears
Bm F#m A
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
G A D A/C# Bm
Or lay upon my altar now your love
G
I fear my day is done
Em7
There are armies moving on
F#* C*
(single notes)
Be quick, my love
Intro pattern to end
Dona nobis pacem
