Verse 1
Am
Like carillon bells,
Em
C
the house of Au gustus rings
G
With the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine,
Am
they took to it
Like a fox to a burrow,
Em
C
like an eagle to an aerie
And my god, it's getting hard to even
G
hum a single thing, 'cause
C
G
You were the song that I'd always sing
Bm
Em

G

C

Bm
that I was only
Em
Pushing the spear into your
G

side again
Am

G
Centurions than any little mes
Em

C
From throwing fuel to the fire of
G

Am
dream
Purifying the holy rock to
Em
melt the gilded seams
C
It don't bring me relief, no,
G
it don't bring me nothing that
C

You were the song that I'd always sing

You were the light that

C
But I can't shake this
Bm

Pushing the spear into your side again and again and again
