[Verse 1]
C# B A
He smiles, beguiles, and occupies
C# B A D/A
A perfect placid sacred space
C# B A
Enthrals all those who gaze, admire
C# B A D/A
And, fascinated, beg his grace
E
Bold but blessed with calm resists
Am F
Well armoured, turns aside all harm
G
Directed at his sweet perfection
Am B G#
Bathed in gentle lights to charm
C# B A
All but one who, seizing
C# B A D/A
Opportunity, devises dark
C# B A
And cunning deed to snuff the candle
C# B A D/A
Put an end to vital spark
