C#m Let’s try getting to the sky, D#m hang on or you’re going to die Sour life can turn sweet, it’s laying at your feet Sweet child with an innocent smile watches closely all the while Don’t be fooled when he cries, keep looking at the eyes Dm A# Good life is contradiction because of the crucifixion If you’re ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed Dm You just gotta listen to the night at the ending of the day You just gotta listen to the night as safety slips away Moving out of sight are the things you need to see to feel And as they slip away becoming so unreal unreal You just gotta listen to the night as you’re going up the stairs You just gotta listen to the night and don’t forget to say your prayers And as you lose control to the eyes in dark disguise And icy fingers send electric lies Chorus: Dm C Dm We’re disturbing the priest, A# C Dm won’t you please come to our feast Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least Do we mind disturbing the priest Not at all, not at all, not in the least The force of the devil is the darkness the priest has to face The force of the night will destroy him but will not disgrace To get into his mind and to his soul you gotta set alight The flames of doubt so deep inside inside The devil and the priest can’t exist if one goes away It’s just like the battle of the sun and the moon and night and day The force of the devil, that’s we’re all told to fear Watch out for religion when he gets too near too near Chorus: We’re disturbing the priest, won’t you please come to our feast Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least Good life is contradiction because of the crucifixion If you’re ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed Let’s try getting to the sky, hang on or you’re going to die Sour life can turn sweet, it’s laying at your feet Sweet child with an innocent smile watches closely all the while Don’t be fooled when he cries, keep looking at the eyes Disturbing the priest You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# ![]() C ![]() C#m ![]() Dm ![]() D#m ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
