[Verse 1]
[Am]This the oldest story in the book

[Interlude 1]
He desires the one thing he cannot have
[Am]
[F]
[Am]My darling queen, I [Em]lay

[Verse 2]
[Em]
myself [Am]at[F][Dm]
your feet
[Em]And I shall stay [Am]the hands [Em]of fate
[F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Wind [D5]cries out
Heavens boil above voicing
[Dm]discon[F]tent to my sins
I have found the [D5]way to
trick the [Dm]ferryman
[Am]I have [F#]decei[Am]ved[Bbdim][Am]
the [Bbdim]ancient Gods[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Cold [F]flesh [G]lends to me it's sec[Am]rets
(Each day brings me [Em]closer to [F]you)
For a price too [G]high [Am](my tra
[Em]gic victory)
I shudder at [F]what I [G]have [Am]done

[Interlude 2]
[F]
Darling [Em]queen I lay at your feet

[Verse 5]
[F]
Chills take me as she wakes
Throat [Dm]gasps [D5]tainted
breath
I've reclaimed you my stolen [F]bride
Can your soul forgive my
crimes of passion?
[D5]I would not close the ca[Dm]sket[F]

[Verse 6]
I'm so con[G]sumed by [Am]your pain,
your pain
[F]Faint screams [G]echo [Am]through the night

[Verse 7]
[Am]
Cold [F]flesh [G]lends to me [Am]it's secrets
(Each day brings me [Em]closer to [F]you)
For a [G]price too [C]high[Am]
(my tra[Em]gic victory)
[F]I shudder at w[G]hat I have done

[Verse 8]
[Am]The pains of death can no
longer haunt you
As the dawning sky brings forth
one forsaken thought
Death can not win for I now dwell
in the palace of decay

[Verse 9]
And I shall stay the hands of fate
[Am]
Night descends
Sinews [Bb]twitch[Am][Bb][Am]
My pale queen finally
Stands to [Bb]taste si[Am]lent [Bb]lips[Am]
Now cursed with her [Bb]love
[Am][Bb][Am][Bb][Am]

[Verse 10]
Cold [F]flesh lends to me [G]it's secrets (Each day
[Am]brings me clos[Em]er to yo[F]u)
For a price [G]too [Am]high (my tragic
[Em]victory)[F]
Cold flesh [G]lends to me [Am]it's secrets
(Each day brings me [Em]closer [F]to you)
For a price [G]too [Am]high
[Em](my tragic [F]victory)
[G]I[Am][A]
[D]shudder at
[G]what [F#]I have done
