[Verse 1]
Em
Desert air on skin
The chill of empty space
G
The nomad's grin
C
The sand, the wave and the cold
Em
Will drive him back in
Will keep them close to him
[Refrain]
Em
And they will hide inside
G
Behind blind mirrors
Trembling in tents
C
Hearts weak with fear
He knows
Em
He likes to keep them near
[Verse 2]
Em
And at the night
G
With a pride too big to swallow
C
And with leprous hands
Em
Has them hum and dance to him
[Refrain]
Em
For they have boiled his faith
G
Into abstraction
C
And coiled up in their sickrooms
Em
Their bodies stir-stir-stirring in blankets
[Verse 3]
Em
Like a mother's withered breasts
G
They still set him to dreaming
C Em
Of quartering steel and of climbing fire
[Refrain]
Em
With a dripping honey hole
G
He'll be winning them over
C
And with calculated neglect
Em
He likes to know them there
[Verse 4]
Em
And they will know
That they may only know
G
The laws of Things
C
Never their meaning
Em
Only their laws
[Refrain]
Em
And they will bury their holy blade
G
Deep in devoted chests
C
And after such knowledge
Em
What forgiveness?
[Verse 5]
Em
Desert air on skin
The chill of empty space
G
The smell of emptied bodies
C
The sand, the wave
Em
And nothing
And nothing
[Outro]
Em G C Em
