Dm       Dmmaj7
Ghost of Mother
Ab5  G5   F5   Dm
Lingering death
Dm/Db Dm/C Dm/B     Bbmaj7   Dm/A Gm
           Ghost on Mother's bed 
Dm                     Dmmaj7
  Black strands on the pillow
   Ab5     G5  F5    Dm
Contour of her health
Dm/Db Dm/C Dm/B    Bbmaj7 Dm/A    Gm  F Dm
           Twisted face  upon the head
            Dmmaj7
Ghost of perdition
Ab5      G5  F5   Dm
Stuck in her chest
Dm/Db Dm/C Dm/B    Bbmaj7    Dm/A Gm Dm
      A    warning no    one read
       Dmmaj7
Tragic friendship
Ab5      G5       F5 Dm
Called inside the fog
Dm/Db Dm/C Dm/B    Bbmaj7 Dm/A  Gm     F Dm Dm
           Pouring venom brew deceiving

[Chorus]
Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
Blew hope into the room and said:
                                 Dm
"You have to live before you die young"

Dm          Dmmaj7
Holding her down  
Ab5   G5   F5  Dm
Channeling darkness
Dm/Db Dm/C Dm/B    Bbmaj7    Dm/A Gm
           Hemlock for   the Gods
Dm         Dmmaj7
  Fading resistance
Ab5      G5  F5  Dm
Draining the weakness
Dm/Db Dm/C Dm/B Bbmaj7 Dm/A  Gm   F Dm
           Penetrating inner light

[Verse 3]
Dm
Darkness by her side
                     Am Gm F
Spoke and passed her by
Dm
Dedicated hunter
                 Am Gm F
Waits to pull us under
Dm
Rose up to its call
                  Am  Gm F
In his arms she'd fall
Dm
Mother light received
                         Am  Gm F Am Am/G
And a faithful servant's free

[Verse 4]
Dm                           Abdim Adim
  In time the hissing of her sanity
Dm                                       Abdim Adim
  Faded out her voice and soiled her name
Dm                           Abdim Adim
  And like marked pages in a diary
Dm                                  Abdim  Adim
  Everything seemed clean that is unstained
Dm                           Abdim    Adim
  The incoherent talk of ordinary days
Dm                                 Abdim Adim
  Why would we really need to live?
Dm                                  Abdim      Adim
  Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
Dm                                     Abdim Adim Dm
  What you should take and what to give

[Chorus]
Dm
Ghost of perdition
A saint's premonition's unclear
Keeper of holy hordes
                     Dmadd9
Keeper of holy whores

[Verse 5]
Dmadd9           Gm
      To see a beloved son
      Gbmadd9/Db             Emadd11/A Fmaj7/A Dm/B
In despair      of what's to come

[Verse 6]
Dmadd9              Cadd9/A
      If one cut the       source of the flow
    Gadd9/D          Bbmaj7(b5)/D Am C
And everything would change      
Am Dmadd9                Cadd9/A
         Would conviction       fall
       Gadd9/D      Bbmaj7(b5)/D
In the shadow of the            righteous
Am C Am
Dmadd9            Cadd9/A
      The phantasm       of your mind
         Gadd9/D        Bbmaj7(b5)/D
Might be calling you to go          
Am C Am
Dmadd9        Cadd9/A
      Defying the    forgotten morals
          Gadd9/D       Bbmaj7(b5)/D Am C
Where the victim is the prey        
Am Abdim Gbdim
   Ah!
