Month Of Darkness chords

[VERSE 1]
Be[Em]fore the Great Burning, be[B]fore the wars
A [G]time of n[Am]othing, but [A]hills and shores
Th[Am]e smoke of [C]cities, and [Em]fields of rye
N[B]o eyes or voices beyond the sky [Bm] [D] [Em]
B[Em]elievers roamed from t[F#]own to t[Bm]own
T[C]hey spied every b[Am]aby born, up and down
[Am]Scouring the la[Em]nd for a child to use
[F#]And ponderous, esoteric clues
A[Em] crumbling black city, an outcast f[F#]ound
Fa[G]ther a mon[Am]ster, mother under the ground
A[Em] beggar, a mongrel, a boy with no shoes
He[G] fell to their hands to cage and abuse

[CHORUS]
An[G]d lo! in the m[Am]onth of darkness
An[F]d lo! his name destro[Em]yed
An[G]d lo! he still whispers[A] in silenc[Am]e
An[C]d lo! he went int[F]o the voi[Em]d

[VERSE 2]
Th[Em]ey were drawn to a light, a[G] waning gray
Hi[G]s face was b[Bm]lank he had nothing [Am]to say
He[C] watched and waited, they p[Em]ainted his eyes
Th[F#]ey colored his clothing with pigments and dyes
Th[Em]ey found a path away [F#]from the light
To an a[G]ncient tree [A]withered by blight
A [Em]sacred altar, encircled in stones
Tw[F#]in blades of bronze, s[D]harpened on bones

[CHORUS]
An[G]d lo! in the m[Am]onth of darkness
And[F] lo! his name destroy[Em]ed
An[G]d lo! he still whispers[A] in silenc[Am]e
A[C]nd lo! he went in[F]to the vo[Em]id

[VERSE 3]
In [G]the Month of D[C]arkness, se[B]asons destroyed
A r[G]itual killing bound his [A]spirit to the Void
Ey[Em]es drained of [C]color, the beggar no [Em]more
To[B] become what the Believers waited for
Th[Em]ey set him outside, b[Bm]eyond the spheres
Q[G]uiet as the [Am]night, long[A] like the years
H[Am]e opened his e[C]yes, as [Em]black as a dream
Tr[B]ying to speak, his only words a [Bm]scream

[CHORUS]
An[G]d lo! in the m[Am]onth of darkness
And[F] lo! his name destroy[Em]ed
An[G]d lo! he still whispers[A] in silenc[Am]e
A[C]nd lo! he went in[F]to the vo[Em]id
