[Verse] Am Dm Farewell the temple master's bells Am Dm His kiosk and his black worm seed Am Dm Courtship solely of his word E Am With Eden guaranteed Am Dm For now Prince Rupert's tears of glass Am Dm Make saffron sabbath eyelids bleed Am Dm Scar the sacred tablet wax E Am On which the Lizards feed [Chorus] A Bm Wake your reason's hollow vote D A Wear your blizzard season coat A Bm Burn a bridge and burn a boat D A Stake a Lizard by the throat [Verse] Am Dm Go Polonius or kneel Am Dm The reapers name their harvest dawn Am Dm All your tarnished devil's spoons E Am Will rust beneath our corn Am Dm Now bears Prince
Rupert's garden roam
Am Dm Across his rain tree shaded lawn Am Dm Lizard bones become the clay E Am And there a swan is born [Chorus] A Bm Wake your reason's hollow vote D A Wear your blizzard season coat A Bm Burn a bridge and burn a boat D A Stake a Lizard by the throat [Verse] Am Dm Gone soon Piepowder's moss-weed court Am Dm Round which upholstered Lizards sold Am Dm Visions to their leaden flock E Am Of rainbows' ends and gold Am Dm Now tales Prince Rupert's peacock brings Am Dm Of walls and trumpets thousand fold Am Dm Prophets chained for burning masks E Am And reels of dreams unrolled [Chorus] A Bm Da Da Da Da Da Da Da- Da Da Da D A Da Da Da Da Da Da Daaaa A Bm Da Da Da Da Da Da Da- Da Da Da D A Da Da Da Da Da Da Daaaa
