With an angel's breath

Verse 2 (as verse 1):
Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows
It moves
It swells
Pre-chorus 2 (as pre-chorus 1):
'Son' It calls to me
'Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper'
Chorus
Bridge:
F#m
I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
F#m
You want to finish it
We're gonna finish it right
F#m
And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
F#m
The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning
Others: F#m, Bm, A, C#
D E
All through the night
F#m E
I wrestled the angel
D C#m
To undo the curse
Bm F#m E
That's burdened me all of my life
Bm F#m E A
And for the first time I could see
Bm F#m E A
That God was not my enemy
Bm F#m E A
I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you

I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you

Ending:
F#m
Like pieces of the sun
A
Our light burns on and on and on
F#m A
Like stars in the night sky we shine

I'm living to shine on, I'm living to shine on,
A - G# - G - F#* - F
I'm living to shine on,
F - F# - G - G#* - A A
I'm living to shine on, I'm living to shine on
A
I'm living to shine on
