Intro: 
Em7 
Well alright, 
            Edim7 
No stars tonight 
    Em7 
The moon must hide 
                     Edim7 
Can't bear to see my face 
   Cm 
So many moons have passed 
   Bbm 
So many suns gone down 
         Ab 
Too much blood under the bridge 
          F 
Too many worlds turned upside down 

verse 1 
    D                       Em 
The skies were pure and the fields were green 
     F#m              G 
The fading summer, sixteen-seventeen 
     Bm                F#m 
The first time I ever drew blood 
               G              A 
She was such a beautiful and innocent child 

    D                       Em 
She never knew my soul was cursed for good 
    F#m                           G 
I fought to overcome my thirst I thought I could 
           Bm                     F#m 
But when I kissed her lips then I had no control 
        G              A 
And the furies all ran wild 

Pre-Chorus 
         Bm            
And when I grasped for life 
  F#m                  G                  A 
I always killed the things for which I yearned 
          Bm               F#m 
I wish to be a flame and reduce to ashes 
    G            A 
But I have never burned 


[Refrão]
          Em             A 
I long to fly in total freedom 
              Bm                      G 
and yet these chains keep dragging me down 
          Em                   A 
I want to be an angel or the devil himself 
         Bm                                                G 
But I am nothing but a creature longing for things I can't have 
          F#m                 Bm 
And the split goes through my very soul 
       G                A 
It´s a wound that never mends 
       F#m        Bm 
Our desires are elusive 
        G             A 
And the hunger never ends 
         D                Em 
When the world has drawn its final breath 
      G                  A 
And Extinguished all the light 
             D 
There´ll be nothing left 
       Em               G 
But a lifeless wasteland 
               A        Bm 
And an endless appetite 
D                   Em                G 
Nothing left but a soundless heartbeat 
               A 
And a ruthless appetite

verse 2 
     D                          Em 
The preacher's daughter let me in her room 
     F#m                            G 
In seventeen thirty-two, to love me was her doom 
          Bm                    F#m 
With her silken blood I wrote a poem of love 
  G             A 
Upon her ivory skin 
         D                 Em 
And the bashful page of Napoleon the Great 
     F#m                              G 
In eighteen hundred thirteen he stood at the gate 
          Bm                   F#m 
When I recall his body I can't help but think 
       G             A 
To consume him was a sin 

Pre-Chorus 
          Bm            F#m 
So many victims washing on the shores 
   G             A 
An ocean of pure tears... 
          Bm              F#m 
So many pleas for mercy, howls of pain 
   G           A 
Intoxicating fears 
 

[Refrão]
          Em                A 
I used my body just like a bandage 
             Bm                 G 
I used their bodies just like a wound 
          Em                    A 
And I'll never know where they disappeared 
          Bm 
But I can see them rising up out my memories now 
              Bm                       G 
Just like the demons rising up from a tomb! 
             F#m             Bm 
And there is no way ever to apologize, 
   G             A 
Repent or make amends... 
      F#m              Bm 
No release and no redemption 
     G            A 
The hunger never ends... 

Bridge 
            D                  Em 
There are those who believe in science 
     G                   A 
And those who believe in art 
           D                    Em 
There are those who believe in power and wealth 
    G                   A 
Or love and matters of the heart 
           G                    A 
There are those who believe in various gods 
   Bm             C#m7 
In nations, and knowledge 
    Bm        C#m7 
In heaven and hell 
     Bm        C#m7 
The powers of darkness 
      G                A 
The assumption of the light 
    D            Bm 
But I believe in just one God 
         G 
That of endless and insatiable 
  G 
Immoral and destructible 
    G                     
And all consuming appetite

Outro  
            D                Em 
There is a prediction that I now will make 
        G                A 
And I'm sure it will be right: 
         D                Em 
When the next millennium finally comes 
     G                  A 
The god most worshiped in this world 
            G               
Will be the God of appetite
