G Em C
When serpents come

They cover the Christ Thorn

Two heads and cock heads

Everything has two faces

Mother is in the fields

Father is in the fields
G Em C
You know well its tortured form

It's locked within a particular place

It's locked within a particular form

It's jailed by a falling light

With angles shapes and sighs

Mother is in the fields
C D
Father is in the fields
G Em C
It's a form creating formless

Formless creating form
G Em C
Oh, four towers read them backwards

Do not spell their sound

Do not move to their lies

Speak the words

And they create the universe

And

They destroy all universe

Mother is in the fields
C D
Father is in the fields
G Em
Heavy-lidded eyes

Do not mask the pain
D G
They shade us from the burning light

Listen: one face one form
C D
One truth one light

I see it through the staining glass

I see it fractured in the world
(This is not true -

It's appearance only)
G Em
Mother is in the fields
C D
Father is in the fields
G
An eagle flies
Em
His bloody face

Behind bloody claws

Behind bloody cause
Em C
His pain is blackened rain
D G
His reign is Romanzion pain
It is not finished
Em
It happens now

Matchstick men in a matchstick world

Match the prick with the sickle
Em C
Make the sickle slice the corn
D
Time stops when he was thirty-three
G Em
And mother is in the fields
C D
Father is in the fields
G Em
Time stops when I'm thirty
C D
Time stops then
G
And time stops there
Then is now
Em
Why do we not see it?
C D
Time stops time breaks time holds
G
Time ceases
Em
The pestle grinds the mortar
C
The mortar turns to dust

The metal turns to rust

Words they fail
Em
And they fall apart
C
The Corn it dies
D
And is reborn
G Em
Mother is in the fields
C D
Father is in the fields
G Em
Blond hair moves in the blond corn
C
Boyd wears black
D
And he talks of death
G
But all his face
Em
Spell out light
C
Michael's on the roof
D
He's kissing a Rose
G
Blood drops come
Em
From the heart of her life
C
Something hangs
D
Above there in the skies
G
Something hovers
Em
Above his brown hair
C
Life la-las
D
In the background of light
G
And the birds don't sing
Em
When the curtain snaps
C
Anita's in Ireland
D
She's falling over rocks
G
Scars are for her scarring
Em
Scars are for her pain
C
And all her scars
D
Meet in a falling star
G Em
And some make money from weapons
Blood
C D
And some make money from hunger
Blood
G Em
And some make money from politics
Blood
C D
And some make money from fear
Blood
G Em
And some make money from religion
It's blood
C
The world falls apart
D
The world starts to cease
G Em
And mother is in the fields
C D G
Father has died in the fields
