Key: D
Introduction:
D A
On the crooked road that took me north
G D
And brought me home again
D A
From the pit of writhing serpents
G D
Out to the lion's den
D A
Where the labyrinth is lightless
Bm F#m
And the faithless wander crazed
G D
Let the light rise from the darkness
A D
Let his name be praised
verse 2
D A
From the sunrise of my childhood
G D
To its premature demise
D A
From my mother's best intentions
G D
To my stepdad's seething eyes
D A
From the hidden self-inflicted wounds
Bm F#m
That flowered in later days
G D
To the folly of their learning
A D
Let his name be praised
verse 3
D A
In the holes the worms have eaten
G D
Through all once-treasured things
D A
From the wet mouth of the vulture
G D
To the red tips of his wings
D A
In the dazed eyes of the penitent
Bm F#m
Emerging from the maze
G D
In his wordless explanations
A D
Let his name be praised
