Biography:
Cardiacs, originally called Cardiac Arrest, was an English band formed in 1977 and led by Tim Smith (1961-2020). Noted for their complex, varied and intense compositional style and for their eccentric, theatrical stage shows, they have been hailed as an influence by many newer groups and artists.
As well as Smith, around 23 musicians were part of the Cardiacs over the years, including Smith's brother, Jim, and multi-instrumentalist, Sarah Cutts, who married Tim Smith in 1983.

E B F#m A
Hail majestic corporate light
E F#m C#m F# E A
Heaven born and ever bright
E B F#m A
How our spirit like the waves
E F#m C#m F# E A
As the breath of thine awakes
E B A B
And now the night of weeping shall be
E A A E A
The morn of song
B C#m F# A E F#sus4 F#m
Ah! We are those whose thunder shakes the skies
D A C#m F# E F#
The thin spun life

So overcome thy fear
E F#m C#m F# E A
And burst into sudden blaze
E B A B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears
E A A E A
And slit the thin spun life
B C#m F# A E F#sus4 F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail
D A C#m F#
Thy justice fear
E B F#m A
Walk in shadow, walk in dread
E F#m C#m F# E A
Loosefish walk as like one dead
E B F#m A
One drop in a winter sea
E F#m C#m F# E A
No more to rise forever
E B A B
Anything down there about your souls
E A A E A
Will smash the sun alight

Ah! Yield week in, weak out from morn to night
E F#sus4 A
Feelers from across the sea
F#sus4 C#m F# C#m F#
Come crawling over thee

One drop in a winter sea

No more to rise forever
