AmGCAm
I have walked the earth so many times before your birth,
AmGAm
Today is only yesterday's tomorrow.
AmGCAm
And as the gardener in Eden it was I who sowed the seed then,
AmGC
I've come here to reclaim this life you borrow.
EmDsus2EmCEm
Singing 'ring a ring o' rosies' for your final lullabye,
Dsus2CCmaj7Em
Have you any prayers to make before you wave your last goodbye?
Dsus2EmCEm
I bring 'a pocket full of posies' - lay a wreath to ease my guilt,
Dsus2C
As the light's go out forever not one drop of blood was spilt.
[Chorus]
EmAmEm
As yet unwritten history -
AmEm
once more I'll stride the lightning road,
AmC
Identity a mystery -
Cmaj7Dsus2Em
my burden is Pandora's load.
AmEm
Traversing endless centuries -
AmEm
disguised behind Death's lipless smile,
AmCCmaj7Dsus2
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.
Em Am (x3) C,Cmaj7,Dsus2

[Verse 2]
AmGCAm
I'd have rather seen your face almost any other place,
AmGAm
Still here we meet - always the way in this profession.
AmGCAm
And as I gaze into your eyes I see the glimmer within dies,
AmGC
From the moment I first make my dark confession.
EmDsus2EmCEm
How could I swear I would be there for you until your dying day,
Dsus2CCmaj7Em
Certain in the knowledge that it's not that far away?
Dsus2EmCEm
So you leave me sitting here bewildered as a new dead ghost,
Dsus2C
While I try to justify destroying that which I love most.
[Chorus]
EmAmEm
As yet unwritten history -
AmEm
once more I'll stride the lightning road,
AmC
Identity a mystery -
Cmaj7Dsus2Em
my burden is Pandora's load.
AmEm
Traversing endless centuries -
AmEm
disguised behind Death's lipless smile,
AmCCmaj7Dsus2
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.
EmAmEmAmEm
I lock the door, I pour the single phial
AmCCmaj7Dsus2Em
I lock the door amd pour the single phial [Solo: Ramsey]

[Verse 3]
EmDsus2EmCEm
The dark millenium is ending - final daze of the decayed,
Dsus2CCmaj7Em
And a reign of tears is falling - it's the judgement eve parade.
Dsus2EmCEm
Though I wash my hands a thousand times - still the guilt remains,
Dsus2C
She stole my heart - I took her life ...
(and yet I never knew her name)
[Chorus]
EmAmEm
As yet unwritten history -

Cmaj7Dsus2Em
my burden is Pandora's load.

Traversing endless centuries -
AmEm
disguised behind Death's lipless smile,
AmCCmaj7Dsus2Em
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.
[Pre-chorus]
AmEmAm
Out with a whimper - not with a bang.
EmAmCCmaj7Dsus2
And they all gathered round when the church bells rang.
EmAmEmAm
Singing 'bring out your dead' - they'll stretch for miles,
EmAmCCmaj7Dsus2Em
To be bourne to their graves in single files.
[Chorus]
AmEm
As yet unwritten history -
AmEm
once more I'll stride the lightning road,
AmC
Identity a mystery -
Cmaj7Dsus2Em
my burden is Pandora's load.
AmEm
Traversing endless centuries -
AmEm
disguised behind Death's lipless smile,
AmCCmaj7Dsus2Em
I hide that my intention is to pour this single phial.
