Daggers Drawn
[Verse 1]
Em D C
Just beyond the velvet curtain
Em D C
Of your dark and empty room
D Em C
All the gutters run with silver
Bm D C Em
Underneath the light of the moon
Em D C
I can see you there drawn and pacing
Em D C
Hiding even from your precious son
D Em C
All the prophecies they say the same thing
Bm D C
Beware of the perilous one
Em D Em
Em D C
[Chorus]
C D
Don't beg for mercy
D Bm
What's done is done
Bm Em
I'm gonna break this window
Em Em D C
I'm gonna fire this gun
C D
If you're halfway human
D Bm
Your heart's a storm
Bm Em
Now face the morning
Em D C
With daggers drawn
Em G B Em
D Em D Em D Em
[Verse 2]
Em D C
Bona Dea what's this feeling
Em D C
Nobody will say its name
D Em C
I have tried all kinds of ancient healing
Bm D C Em
Still my heart is covered in clay
Em D C
Well my sister pass that bottle
Em D C
Well my brother pass that flame
D Em C
Under the darkening mountain shadows
Bm D C
We will shout out into the rain
Em D Em
Em D C
[Chorus]

Don't beg for mercy

[Verse 3]
Em N.C. D C
Do you remember those distant mornings
Em D C
Nobody there knew my name
D Em C
I used to call myself a kind of hunter
Bm D C Em
When you came to me covered in flames
Em D C
Never questioned what I fight for
Em D C
It was unchangeable, like the sun
D Em C
We have always been the lonely nighthawks
Bm D C
Watching out for the perilous one
Em D Em
Em D C
[Chorus]
C D
Don't beg for mercy
