Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground
JB Phillips
[Verse 1]
Em Bm7
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
A
Nothing but stillness and death all around
Em Bm7
Then out of the grave, and into the night
A
Must be imagined, this cannot be right
Em Bm7
Feeling the terror, the shock was profound
A
Dizzy from fear, spinning around
Em Bm7
Three sinners, a lover, a joker, a sprite
A
Clear as a bell, we all die tonight
Em Bm7
The beast no longer can be disavowed
A Em F#5 G5 D A
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
Em F#5 G5 A
Cold was the ground
[Verse 2]
Em Bm7
Shadows were cast, with hate intertwined
A
Black was her love, mad was her mind
Em Bm7
Sharp were her claws, pain was her sound
A
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
Em Bm7
The revenant howled, our chests felt tight
A
Frozen in tracks, profound was our fright
Em Bm7
Voices choked, hearts throb and pound
A
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
Em Bm7
Atone for thy infamy, motive thus found
A Em F#5 G5 D A
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
Em F#5 G5 D A
Cold was the ground
[Guitar solo]

Em Bm7 A
Em F#5 G5 D A
[Verse 3]
Em Bm7
Bare teeth on bone, a ravenous bite
A
Dispatching life with all of her might
Em Bm7
The breaking and tearing, our parts did resound
A
Lives replayed, memories unwound
Em Bm7
Deep was the hole, no bottom in sight
A
Free fall to death, sins put aright
Em Bm7
Down we did dive, bodies forming a mound
A Em F#5 G5 D A
How dark was the night, how bloody the ground
Em F#5 G5 D A
Cold was the ground
[Verse 4]
Em Bm7
Then still were our bodies, still was the night
A
Done with the breathing, done with the fight
Em Bm7
The damage was done, back to hell with the hound
A Em(add9)
How eternal the night, how frigid the ground
