Em          D                 Em              D
Confusion writhes around our hearts impatiently
Em             D                    Em
It drains the faith that lights the dark
              D
and sets us free
           Am           D           G
From the chains of our war and the pain we once
 D      Am G Em
called love

The poison of doubt enslaves our
minds and we bleed
We abandon the trust that kept us
blind and disappear
Under the crimson wings of hate
where the lost are safe
                  F
Until they love again

Chorus:
     Am       C           G       Em          Am C G
The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there
          Am        C      G      Em    Am C G
And that hope will be our love's requiem

We pray to the serpent of delight desperately
The questions are answered and we try not to weep
Until we are sure we're suffering for love

In the dungeons of our dreams we're so weak
The promise made to be broken still
haunts our sleep
And we won't open our eyes afraid
we would die for love

Chorus

Em                 F                       Em
The salvation we seek will be waiting us there
                 F                    C   G
In the heart of darkness lonely and scared
                   Dm            Em E
With a promise of death for our love

     Dm             G              C
And now that we're free from the chains
        G    Dm
of our dear love
     F
I'm lost, so lost

Chorus

Take me into your arms and sing me your
beautiful song
Hold me until we're one and sing me your
beautiful song
