i dreamed i saw on a moonlit stair
Am C A# F Am
spreading his hands on the multitude there
Am Dm
a man who cried for a love gone stale
Em C A#
and ice cold hearts of charity bare

i watched as fear took the old men’s gaze

hopes of the young in troubled graves

Am C A# F Am
taking the lost and the unloved babe
Am Dm
late too late all the wretches run
Em C A#
these kings of beasts now counting their days

from mother’s love is the son estranged
Am C A#
married his own his precious gain
