[Verse 1]
D5  E5 D5 E5
Kai-sa-ri-on, a prophecy told
      D5
We're building our empire
         A5
from the ashes of an old
D5  E5 D5 E5
Kai-sa-ri-on,, the fruit of the womb
    D5
Our brotherhood of good faith
          A5
sealed an apostate witch's doom

[Pre-Chorus]
B5
It's the sound of another deadline
A5                  E5
whistling past your ears
B5
It's the sight of a million
        E5            A5
regrets mounting over years
B5
It's the words that were never spoken
     A5                 E5
that echoes through the times
B5
It's the smell of the burning
        E5            A5
temples swept away by rhymes

[Chorus]
 G5 A5 D5 A5 B5
(Hy-pa-ti-a) Far away from
the stench of the heavens
 G5 A5 B5 D5 G5
(Hy-pa-ti-a) Long ago,
yet too close to forever
 G5 A5 B5 D7 A5
(Hy-pa-ti-a)
                   E5
When a paradise is lost,
   G5
go straight to

D5  E5 D5 E5
Kai-sa-ri-on, a matter of love
     D5
When Mother Earth is calling
      A5
for a father up above
D5  E5 D5 E5
Kai-sa-ri-on, put on the smiles
    D5
And throw your holy rocks right
           A5
at her for her satanic wiles

[Pre-Chorus]
B5
It's the truth of candor shone
            A5       E5
through the prism of deceit
B5
It's the continence of bishops
           E5           A5
with their choirboys en-suite
B5
It's the tongue selling adulation
     A5          E5
that licks to no avail
B5
It's the noise of the righteous dogma
     E5                   A5
that hides the handmaid's tail

[Chorus]
 G5 A5 D5 A5 B5
(Hy-pa-ti-a) Far away from
the stench of the heavens
 G5 A5 B5 D5 G5
(Hy-pa-ti-a) Long ago,
yet too close to forever

(Hy-pa-ti-a) When a paradise is lost,
   G5
go straight to
