[Verse 1]
G#m D# G#m D#
Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree
F# C# G#m D#
And every voice within me spoke: "You will never be free."
G#m D# G#m D#
Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree
F# D# G#m D#
But today I am as perfect as a single blade of grass
D#
Because I am free
G#m D# G#m
In the night I was beset by demons
D# F# C# G#m D#
I know all their names but cannot speak them
Dm D# G#m
Their grinning teeth split the darkness and I said:
D# F#
"I know your name, take your teeth out of me
C# G#m D#
Return my body to me, release me, release me,
D#
Release me, release me, release me."
G#m D# G#m D#
My tears soaked my bed, the blood of many wounds soaked my bed
F#
The sweat of many fears soaked my bed
C# G#m D#
And I begged - "Release me, release me, release me."
[Verse 2]
G#m D# G#m D#
And sinner friend, I heard that voice sweet as a bright bell
F# C# G#m D#
It spoke to me and said, sweet as a bright bell:
G#m D# G#m D# F# C# G#m D#
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always."
G#m D# G#m
And I spat "Who are you? Some demon? Do I know your name?"
D# F#
And the voice replied "I am the one heralded by seven trumpets
C# G#m D#
Have you not heard? I claim no thing and no thing can claim me
D#
But I am yours and you are mine
D#
For this hour, you are free."
G#m D# G#m D# F# C# G#m D#
And I said "Demon, release me."
G#m D# G#m D#
"I cannot release you for you are already free
F# C#
I made you as perfect as a single blade of grass
G#m
Have you not seen?"
D#
And the voice spoke, sweet as a bright bell,
G#m D# G#m D# F# C# G#m D#
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always."
[Verse 3]
G#m D# G#m
And so I sit at the table of God
D# F#
And my garment is woven from the stars
C# G#m D#
And the leaves that fan from the trees that unfurl into heaven
G#m D# G#m
In my hair are lilies and at my throat are pearls
D# F# C#
And when I walk the streets of gold with naked feet
G#m D#
All this was promised and came to be
G#m D# G#m D#
And so, sinner friend, lay your burdens down
F# C#
The night is not yours alone to carry
G#m D#
Take my hand, for in the dark I see you
D#
And will speak unto you what was spoke unto me:
G#m D# G#m D# F# C# G#m D#
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always
G#m D# G#m D# F# C# G#m D#
I will always be with you, I will be with you always."
