The Devil Awake

lyrics

The Devil Awake
Em A Em A
The devil asleep and the devil awake
Em A Em A
Is the difference between love and fate
D G D G
And I cannot kill what I don’t understand
Em A D G
But the hate in a heart takes the measure of a man
Em A D
The hate in a heart makes the man

A D
The longing of the dry wood
Bm F#m
Is a shadow on the barn
A Em A Em
So stitch some cool rain together
Bm F#m A
Or feed it to the hint of a spark

Em A Em A
And the dead will outnumber me
Em A Em A
Like all the birds above the sea
D G D G
I breathe in their memories
Em A D G
And the all leave their mark on me
Em A D
They all leave a mark

D G D G

Em A D G

Em A D
