Verse 1
E5
A sense of peace was falling on the universal night
And it gave me a pause to reason why I live
To never cease the calling
of the consequential right
And it gave me cause and
reason why they give
The first thing I remember was the
shadow 'cross my heart
And they matched the beauty

Verse 6
E5
I looked across the answers,
though questions didn't exist
And found that I was never alone
We cut away the cancer
and continued to resist
But the outcome of the
night remained unknown
The next thing I remember were the
years across my face
And they matched only the
beauty of scars

Verse 9
time is not a friend
The blessing comes but one in a life
Across the crowded universe
that hastens to an end
Through memories of one
time in a night
And what will I remember
through the by and by
To have and hold and turn about the chill
A5
E5
That this was not the pause to die
G5
F5
But to live to kill
