Elric The Enchanter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The song he sang was surfaces
Nothing deeper than a child knows
He could sing sand into pearls
So the saying goes
Some said he was a [C]sorcerer[G]
Or a warrior [C]chief
[G]But he was the[C] stealer of souls
[G]The lord of Chaos [C]reaps
And he's [Eb]frozen in a [Dm]time trap
[Eb]Slowly losing [Dm]power
And he's [Eb]frightened if he [Dm]makes a move
The [Eb]dream will soon turn [Dm]sour[Eb][F]
[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G]
Sprawling in a [C]Ruby Throne
[G]Head cupped in his [C]hands
[G]The lord of [C]dragons, Elric's thoughts
Were [G]of quests to far off [C]lands
A [G]black sword was [C]at his side
Mur[G]muring in its scabbard [C]cold
[G]Waiting for the moment [C]to arrive
To [G]drink the very essence of [C]soul[F][Eb][Dm][Eb][Dm][Eb][Dm]
[Eb][Dm][Eb][F][G][Gsus4][G]
[Gsus4][G][Ab]
[Bb][Eb]
[Bb][D]
[Dm]He[G][D][Dm][F][D][Dm][F][G][Dm]
[D][Dm][Eb][F][G][D][Dm][F][G]
[Dm]did [D]not [Dm]know[F] th[G]at [D]the sword he'd hold[Dm][G]
[D]Would turn his priceless empire
into [Dm]fool's [Eb]gold[F][Dm]
[D]The truth, the shadow of
the sword [Dm]will [Eb]hide[F][Dm]
[D]Til it's too late, a traitor at his[Dm] side[Eb][F][Gsus4][F]
[Gsus4][G][Ab][Bb][Cm][D][Dm]
[D][Dm][F][Dm][G][D]
And as he gazes from his
[Eb]ruby [Dm]throne[F][G][D]
He's growing restless of
the life [Dm]he's [F]sown[Dm][G]
[D]To get away, embark on [Dm]a quest[F][G][D]
And put his powers of sorcery to [Eb]the
[F]test[G][F][G][Ab][Bb][C][Dm]
[D]The drugs he takes to keep
[Dm]himself [F]awake[Dm][G]
[D]lose their effect, he can no longer wai[Eb]t[F][G]
[D]To find the sword and
gain [Eb]more [F]power
[Dm]And [G]make[D] his move before the dream
turn[Eb]s so[F]ur[G]
