■  Starless
    D7                    
And darkness waning slowly
  D7         
A cold enigma
      Dm             
Would move me forward

Oh hapless life

Now I pledge to you

In paragraphs ■ ■

Over time ■  you will heal
      D7                             
A man saved from a damnation's winter

■  ■  ■ ■   ■ 
                                  D       
And the corpse of your father was entombed

He's my haunting phantasma and my plague

Like the bearer of ■   death waiting
                    Bbm               Dm
Decrepit strategies set contaminating ■ 
Bbm                            D7         
Eating bits of wretched throne forevermore

Defiled I'd long for sleep
          D     
A tainted family
             D      
In a tainted century
        D                   
Could I justify my reasoning


[Inst]
       D      
A gray mistake
              D7        
A sunken cold back light

He was of inferior class a servant to me
   Bbm       Bb7                      
Ha the irony in this perverted odyssey
                Bb7         
If our father's word is true
               Dm 
We're bastards too

  D7          
A deception No
                           C7           
My sickly daughter looking on bewildered
        D7              
A jewel in our hierarchy

In my life

[Verse]
           D7    
I've asked of you
                  D7       
Take care of your kin child
D7                          
And their blood runs in mine
D7                      
Over time you will kneel
                   D    
Over time you will kneel

    D7                            
Rid yourselves of this abomination
D            Dm           Am  Bbm
In reverence uprooted you are ■  
Am                       
And in the summary coming
                          Bbm                  
The proverbial sanctum of mine is up for debate
    Bbm              
The execution of will
                Bbm       
The crowning of an heiress

■  Requiem devised and signed by hand

You are tethered to command
        Am            
Requiem ■  devised and
