Rapt by a vision of gluttony and avarice

Stupefied, agog at the baby king
             Bbm
But still we croon through the night
    G
And oh my stars I wish us well
Bbm
Sway in the light
     G
Resuscitate the nightingale
Em        C              G
Try to be kind I long to be

   G#m            G#m7
Elusive phantom, ethereal vision
     Bm                     E
Of a trace of a shadow of a conscience
    F            G             Em
The heroine's no longer in the mood
    F           G             (Am)
The novelist forgotten how to brood


Am           Em      Am
Color in the red night
             Em        F
Color in the red night blue
Dm           Am      Dm
Color in the red night
             Am         E       
Color in the red night blue


Am              Em  Am
The stage was set
                             Em         F
He wouldn't forget the place they first met, now a dragnet
    Dm                       Am         Dm
Her palms were wet with cold sweat and yet
          Am E        
No fear now, no doubt
                   Am                               Em  Am
Her conscience was steady without a route for any way out
    Em               F
She scouted the room once more 
                         Dm               Am       Dm
Then a secret, sweet and safe from life's downpour outdoors
Am                      E
A place that they had explored every pore and contour
            Am             Em         Am           Em
Waking both heart-sore and ready to ignore the rain
        F
And the pain of trying to feign a love that had waned
Dm        Am              Dm
Something once sacred and profane
            Am             E
Had become impossible to sustain, so now only she remained

Dissolving in the twilight's afterglow
Em
Breathing in the ether soft and slow
[Riff 1]

Blurry-eyed and slurring empty hymns
Em
Reality embraced by phantom limbs
[Riff 1]
Dm
Reflections of the swans out on the lake
Em
Envision something real by mistake
[Riff 1]
Dm
The venom in the vein so discreet
Em
The poison in the apple, sickly sweet

    Am                Em           Am                    Em
The anger a scythe, a blight on an otherwise shiny white life
F                                       Dm
What's done was done and now - be numb?
          Am          Dm                       Am           E
She's the sum of generations of strong-worded songs speaking against wrongs
                                  Am Em       Am                         Em
Her women sang along and so would she and her finely-tuned cutting machine
F                                                           Dm
That teemed with feelings of being and gave her reasons to feel serene
Am        Dm               Am
Her dream so dark but right
E
He took her sight, started this fight away from the light
