G 
C 
And he who was righteous
D 
G 
loomed radiant,
C 
striding behind the Lord's messenger
D 
G 
and up the black hill
C

D 
G 
Alarms spoke within her
C

G 
It's not too late, you may look on it still
C 
On the vermilion stained
D

towers of Sodom
You spun in the corn,
A 
D 
you sang in the square
G 
That house whose tall windows
C 
G 
confront you with blackness
Em 
Knew you were bright
G 
You bore your son's there
C 
She turned to behold it
D 
G 
And pain was her master
C 
Her eyes yearning toward it
D

Could no longer see
C

G 
the blood it was her
C

D 
G 
who would wait for this woman?
Or one who would find her loss
A 
D

Em 
I   forgot to end
D

Shielded overhead life
C

for one look
Em 
G 
She'll give all her life for
D 
G 
C 
D 
one love
G 
C 
You
