Verse:
               
   Am                  Cadd9
I hear you breathe so far from me
   Am                  Cadd9
I feel your touch so close and real
       D        Em7             Cadd9      G
And I know my church is not of silver and gold,
D          Em7          Cadd9       G
It's glory lies beyond judgement of souls
D       Em7                  Cadd9  G  D-Dsus2-D
The commandments are of consolation and warmth

The sanctuary tender and so frail

 Am                Cadd9
I hear you weep so far from me

I taste your tears like you're next to me
       D             Em7             Cadd9     G
And I know that our prayers are not enough to heal
D       Em7              Csus9       G
Oh the ancient runes so deep and so dear
D     Em7              Csus9    G  D-Dsus2-D
The revelation is of hatred and fear
