           D                 A
So we were up, throwing dice in the dark
           Bm         A              Bm
I saw you late, last night, come to harm
           D            A      D
I saw you dance in the devil's arms

The night kept coming
Really nothing I could do
Eyes with a fire, unquenched, by peace
Cass the beauty, Cass the queen

Chorus:
A      Bm         F#m      G    D
So we come, to a place of no return
A            Bm         F#m       G    D
Yours is the face, that makes my body burn
A               Bm   F#m       G         D
And here is the name that our sons will learn
D           A                Bm
Curse the beauty, curse the queen
D           A            D
Curse the beauty, leave me

So when you're weak
When you are on your knees
I'll do my best, with the time, that's left
Swan with your spirit, you are fully flesh

So fuck your dreams
Don't you pick at our seams
I'll turn into a monster for you, if you pay me enough
None of this counts, if you just, plough it up

Chorus
