Verse 1: Beat starts on the Dm, not the A

A    Dm
I am spent and with death you paid my ransom
        C                A#
For the witness of your word
                     A
To bring them is the jackal's sin
C    Dm    
Oh...   the eyes of death are upon me
                            Gm
And the watchman takes his toll
                                  A#            C
If the river will run dry it will never take us home
Dm         
    With idle minds we grew unconscious as the 
                   Gm                A#                 C
hunter stalks his prey His eyes, his eyes are locked on me

Chorus:

A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me
A#                      Dm               C
    With a look that's sure to set the captives free

A#5 A#5*

Verse 2:
A        Dm
Oh, make way for I am not the redeemer
                                 Gm
Nor do the mountains fall in my name
                            A#
But with slightest cry, my hunter
                     C
You will fail to reach your prey
Dm
    Still with idle minds unconscious
                          Gm
As the hunter stalks his prey
              A#                 C
His eyes, his eyes are locked on me

Chorus:
A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me
A#                      Dm               C
    With a look that's sure to set the captives free
A#                     Dm        C
    With love that the blindest eyes will see
A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me

A#5 A#5* A#5 A#5^

Bridge: Beat starts on the Gm

                 Gm
As I am met with travesty
Dm                  C 
    And I am broken   and I am empty
Gm                           Dm        C
    And through it all I can see your face
Gm                      Dm    C
    With words unspoken    I hear your voice
Gm                      Dm        C         A#
    I see the hand, the hand that writes it all
                  Dm      C         A#
You've called the wind to show its worth
                  Dm     C               A#
You've called the sun to brag about its warmth
        Dm          C   A#
Because You are the writer
        Dm          C           A#
Because You are the soul of the world

Chorus:
A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me
A#                      Dm               C
    With a look that's sure to set the captives free
A#                     Dm        C
    With love that the blindest eyes will see
A#                Dm       C
    You cover the darkest part of me

A#          Dm          C
    Because You are the writer
A#          Dm          C
    Because You are the writer
