pain, no joy, no power too great colossal strength to grasp a fate where
|Am |C |
gloomy browed with super fear their tragic endless lives could heave nor
sad eyed mermen tossed in slumbers nightmare dreams no mortal mind could
|E7 | |
sigh in solemn, perverse serenity..... wondrous beings chained to
hold man would tear his brother's flesh, a chance to die, to turn to

life
mould

Strange games they would play then
Far out in the red-sky

No death for the perfect men
Far out from the sad eyes

Life rolls into one for them
Strange mad celebration
