The time has come, Pauline
Dsus2
The night will fall and take its wings
G D
A cosmic silence long overdue

Even pitch and stone atomize
Dsus2
So don't feign surprise
G D
You had every day of your life didn't you?
Bm
The angels called on me
Dsus2
A job o'work was sent my way

A tangle they could not unwind

Turns out every holy page
Dsus2
And every parson's rage

And the South closed in on you
G
And made you the proof
Bm A G
Of a soul twisted by faith

Misery abounds

G
Gonna bring me up to speed
A G
I'll drag you wretched like an animal, moanin' like a crone
Em D Dsus2 D
You better hope and pray they never come home

Bm
Spinning children aching from the path
Dsus2
Well, now you've met your match
G D
Victim maker, heart breaker, ruiner of lives

In your dreams you touch the Maestro's face
