BLOOD - Sonata Arctica
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
[INTRO]
G Bm D
At first you kindle life, you place it in a man
A
This man, he has a heart, that's filled with fire
G Bm D
The man will have a wife, the wife creates the home
A G
They multiply and so, their hearts are filled with fear
Bm D
The man creates a wall, he arms, defends them all
A
This fear becomes his fall
[VERSE]
Bm
"Blood is a bodily fluid in animals that
D
Delivers necessary substances such as
Bm
Nutrients and oxygen to the cells and
D
Transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells."
[PRE-CHORUS]
A G
The color of life an arrow of fear made flow
Em G A F#m G Bm
Auburn rivers in the snow dance the death of fading peace of mind
[VERSE]
Bm D
Kept awake by the night of the twilight's cold, sad weeps
Bm D
What the child of Orion has sown his cubs will reap
A G
The fire is out, and there's an ominous silence
Em G A F#m G
But he can see them in the dark, under the moon, the shadows find them
[CHORUS]
G Bm
Wolf, stares in your eyes
D
Blink first and die
A
Beauty and fear, of wolves and of people
[VERSE]
Bm D
There's a cave on the hills in the woods not so far away
Bm D A
Never once had he seen the descent of majestic gray coming his way
G Em G A
Now he can see those blue eyes burning through the darkened night
F#m G
He knows the fur, he used to love her...
[PRE-CHORUS]
Bm A D G
Ready or not, there will be blood
Bm A D G Bm A D G
Life is a gift you have no lease for anymore, there will blood
Bm A D G
You will buy our blood with your own blood
Bm A D G
You will buy our blood with your own blood
[CHORUS]
Bm A G
The last thing you'll see is a wolf
Bm D
It stares in your eyes, blink first and die
A
Beauty and fear within
G Bm D
Who's more of a beast, a king or a priest?
A
What do you believe?
