Intro: Am F C G [Verso 1] Am The night has no witnesses F The stars avert their eyes C The law of men is written loud G But older laws still arise Am They left you to the crows and sun F To make an example of your name C But I was born your sister first G Before their rules, before their blame [Refrão] F C So I will cover you in earth G Am With trembling hands, with steady heart F C Let kings decree what they believe G Am I answer to a deeper law F C If loving you is called a crime G Am Then carve my guilt in stone and sand F C I bury you, my brother mine G Am And damn the price with which they stand [Verso 2] Am Ismenes voice still shakes in fear F She says the world is not so kind C But mercy doesnt ask permission G And justice isnt always blind Am Creon wears his crown of law F Like it was handed down by fate C But gods remember who we are G Long after thrones decay [Refrão] F C So I will cover you in earth G Am With trembling hands, with steady heart F C Let kings decree what they believe G Am I answer to a deeper law F C If loving you is called a crime G Am Then carve my guilt in stone and sand F C I bury you, my brother mine G Am And damn the price with which they stand [Ponte] Dm They think obedience is peace F They think silence is the same as truth Am But I would rather lose my breath E Than live having abandoned you Outro: F C So hear me, gods beneath the ground G Am And gods that burn in open sky F C I choose the love that outlives law G Am I choose the way that lets me die F C This dust is all the crown I need G Am This act my final, truest stand F C I bury you, my brother, loved G Am And seal my fate with my own hands F C Oh, with my own hands
