Em  A6sus2/F#
Em  A6sus2/F#
Em  A6sus2/F#

[Verse 1]
Em          D         C
It always begins as a righteous
    Em  A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
crusade,
Em                     D
But when an eye for an eye
      C           Em
seems like a fair trade,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                    D
Through the night she rides
     C         Em  A6sus2/F#
an unstoppable force,
Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                D
Black boots black coat and
  C         Em  A6sus2/F#
a blood red horse.
Em  A6sus2/F#

[Verse 2]
Em              D        C      Em
In the charcoal sky is a yellow moon,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                  D
And the moan of the wind
   C        Em
is haunting too,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                    D
She sings a dark lullaby
        C
full of sorrow
    Em  A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
and hate,
Em                   D      C
To the rhythm of her horses two beat
Em  A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
gait.

[Verse 3]
Em          D          C
Revenge she rides on a runaway
Em  A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
steed,
Em                   D        C
She would drain this world of all
       Em  A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
it can bleed,
Em              D      C       Em
In her twisted idea of what is just,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em               D
She would gladly watch
    C              Em
man turn back into dust.

a ravening beast,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                     D

of a bountiful feast,

Em                 D
She moves like the tide
     C           Em
no reprieve or remorse,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                D
Black boots black coat
      C         Em
and a blood red horse.
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#

[Verse 5]
Em             D
Her pathway is lined
     C        Em
with skeleton trees,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                 D
They reach for her hair
      C            Em
as it whips in the breeze,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em              D
Her horse never breaks
    C        Em
his rhythmic stride,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                 D
And her hand never leaves
    C            Em
the steel on her side.
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#

Em       D       C         Em
Violence is a contagious disease,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em               D
And the wrath to come
               C
will bring the past to
    Em  A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
its knees,
Em           D
The evil men sow
   C              Em
is what they will reap,
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em
But when the righteous
     D       C      Em
play god the angels weep.

only one unholy creed
A6sus2/F#  Em  A6sus2/F#
Em                   D
She’ll fight without mercy
     C        Em
till death is crowned

this world to the ground
