Drop D tuning; Capo 2nd fret D C - G/B - G D C - G/B - G D C - G/B - G D C - G/B - G D C G/B G From whence the terror of the heart D C G/B G That fills the body every part, D C G/B G What matters were it to depart, D Would blackness follow after? D Dsus4 - D - Dsus4 From whence, in reason's holy game, D A7 D Through mystic ends without a name, D Dsus4 D A metaphor of life, the same D C - G/B - G D C - G/B - G As what man's soul is after.
What means the flowers of a truth?
What means the sweetness of a youth?
What secret here of which to boast?
To speak would lose the answer.
A blinding light to Tarot seems,
A stately look into your dreams.
Astral flight through devious means
Is not what you are after.
A wilted garland never sings.
A feathered singer never dreams.
A withered dreamer never screams;
He has no one to guide him.
What essence in the blood divine
Could clarify the drifting mind
And leave the weary dreams behind
Like Orpheus to falter?
D C G/B G What means the terror of the heart? D C G/B G From whence in reason's holy name? D C G/B G What means the flowers of a truth? D C G/B G A blinding light to Tarot seems. D C G/B G A withered garland never sings. D C G/B G D C - G/B - G D C - G/B - G D What essence in the blood divine?
