(there be dragons)

E      B      F#m       A
Hail majestic corporate light
E      F#m      C#m  F#    E  A
Heaven born and ever bright
E       B      F#m      A
How our spirit like the waves
E      F#m       C#m    F#  E  A
As the breath of thine awakes
E           B        A             B
And now the night of weeping shall be
    E       A    A  E  A
The morn of song
B   C#m    F#          A       E          F#sus4 F#m
Ah! We are those whose thunder shakes the skies
D   A    C#m  F#   E  F#
The thin spun life

E       B        F#m  A
Home of fadeless splendour
E      F#m      C#m     F#   E  A
Of flowers that bear no thorn
E            B         A
Here may the blind and hungry come
    B         E       A   A  E  A
And light and food receive
B    C#m    F#         C#m  F#m    A
Here mighty springs of consolation rise
   E         F#sus4   A
To cheer the fainting mind
   F#sus4 C#m   F#  C#m  F#
And re-creation find

E   B       F#m A
So overcome thy fear
E         F#m  C#m    F#   E  A
And burst into sudden blaze
E          B    A             B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears
         E        A    A  E  A
And slit the thin spun life
B   C#m     F#         A     E       F#sus4  F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail
D   A       C#m  F#
Thy justice fear

E       B       F#m     A
Walk in shadow, walk in dread
E         F#m     C#m      F#  E  A
Loosefish walk as like one dead
E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea
E       F#m     C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever
E        B       A             B
Anything down there about your souls
     E         A    A    E  A
Will smash the sun alight
B   C#m         F#      A        E       F#
Ah! Yield week in, weak out from morn to night
        E    F#sus4     A
Feelers from across the sea
     F#sus4   C#m  F#  C#m  F#
Come crawling over thee

E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea
   E       F#m  C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever
E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea
   E       F#m  C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever
E          B    A             B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears
         E        A    A  E  A
And slit the thin spun life
B   C#m     F#         A     E       F#sus4  F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail
D   A    C#m  F#   E  A
The thin spun life
C#m    F#          C#m     F#m        A
We are those whose thunder shakes the skies
                E    F#sus4   A
Whose eyes this atom globe surveys
    F#sus4  C#m      F#  C#m  F#
Thy justice fear, hooray!
