C#m Amaj7
C#m Amaj7
[Verse 1]
Amaj7
Pedalling through
G#m C#m7 B7
The dark currents
Amaj7 G#m
I find an accurate copy
C#m7 B7
A blueprint of the pleasure in me
[Chorus 1]
Amaj7 G#m
(Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
C#m7 B7
A secret code carved
Amaj7
A secret code carved
G#m C#m7 B7
(Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 G#m
He offers a handshake
C#m7 B7
Crooked five fingers
Amaj7
They form a pattern
G#m C#m7 B7
Yet to be matched
[Chorus 2]
Amaj7
On the surface simplicity
G#m
(Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
C#m7 B7
But the darkest pit in me
Amaj7
And it's pagan poetry
G#m
(Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
C#m7 B7
Pagan poetry
[Interlude]
C#m Amaj7
C#m Amaj7
[Verse 3]
Amaj7 G#m
Morse coding signals (signals)
C#m7
They pulsate (they wake me up)
B7 Amaj7
They wake me up
G#m C#m7 B7
(pulsate) from my hibernating
[Chorus 2]
Amaj7
On the surface simplicity
G#m
(Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
C#m7 B7
But the darkest pit in me
Amaj7
And it's pagan poetry
G#m
(Swirling black lilies totally ripe)

Pagan poetry
Amaj7 G#m C#m7 B7
(Swirling black lilies totally ripe)
Amaj7 G#m C#m7 B7
