[Verse 1: Joshua Burnside]
Am Em F C
Thrown in to a golden cage
Am Em F C
Renamed the breeder of grace but
Am Em F C
All the finest silk of the land
Am Em F C
Couldn't tie up my arms, tie up my hands
[Verse 2: Laura Quirke]
Am Em F C
As for all the sweet perfume
Am Em F C
And for all the flesh consumed
Am Em F C
Nothing could change yes that I knew
Am Em F C
And by the grace of he went I
Am Em F C
Oh oh
[Verse 3: Joshua Burnside]
Am Em F C
I have known the pleasures of man
Am Em F C
The honey spilled over my hands
Am Em F C
And now an angry god commands
Am Em F C
Blood on the altar
[Verse 4: Laura Quirke]
Am Em F C
As the drunken soldiers slept
Am Em F C
Through the palace gardens I crept
Am Em F C
On a throne of feathers I have slept
Am Em F C
But now I am awake
[Bridge: Joshua Burnside, Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke]
D F
And all along
D C
The dunes of the Dardanelles
A holy rifle on my shoulder
And
C G F
50 pounds sterling
C G F
I kept in my pocket
C G F
I know very soon will
Am Em F C
Be of no use to me
Am Em F C
Be of no use to me
[Chorus: Joshua Burnside & Laura Quirke]
Am Em
Rolled through the night
F C
On a truck to the coast
Am Em F C
The arrows of Ulgen above us
Am Em F C
I’ll sway my hips to the beat of the bombs
Am Em F C
And salute the fallen
Am Em D C
Oh the joy to hear it
Am Em F C
So lonesome you wouldn't believe it
Am Em F C
As all the world is born again
Am Em F C
Naked and wailing
[Outro: vocalizing]
Thrown in to a golden cage
Renamed the breeder of grace but
All the finest silk of the land
Couldn't tie up my arms, tie up my hands
As for all the sweet perfume
And for all the flesh consumed
Nothing could change yes that I knew
And by the grace of he went I
I have known the pleasures of man
The honey spilled over my hands
And now an angry god commands
Blood on the altar
As the drunken soldiers slept
Through the palace gardens I crept
On a throne of feathers I have slept but now
I am awake
And all along
The dunes of the Dardanelles
A holy rifle on my shoulder and
50 pounds sterling
I kept in my pocket
I know very soon will
Be of no use to me
Rolled through the night
On a truck to the coast
The arrows of Ulgen above us
I'll sway my hips to the beat of the bombs
And salute the fallen
Oh, the joy to hear it
So lonesome you wouldn't believe it
As all the world is born again
Naked and wailing
