Write me if you use this.

This song is mostly an arpeggiated chord over the verses
and a strummed chorus.  On the arpeggiation, you basically
just walk the bass note to the chord.

I will give the secrets you request
and you will be the one to sacrifice

so lay your olive arms across my breast
and sing the poems, free the butterflies

Pray your gods who ask you for your blood

For they are strong and angry jealous ones

Or lay upon my altar now your love
GG Piano Chord 

I fear my time is short
GG Piano Chord 

There are armies moving close
GG Piano Chord 

Be quick, my love

[verse -- same riff]

I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to gods of cruel design

Is it that they fear the pain of death
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?
