Verse 1: Beat starts on the Dm, not the A
A Dm
I am spent and with death you paid my ransom
C Bb
For the witness of your word
A
To bring them is the jackal's sin
C Dm
Oh... the eyes of death are upon me
Gm
And the watchman takes his toll
Bb C
If the river will run dry it will never take us home
Dm
With idle minds we grew unconscious as the
Gm Bb C
hunter stalks his prey His eyes, his eyes are locked on me
Chorus:
Bb Dm C
You cover the darkest part of me
Bb Dm C
With a look that's sure to set the captives free
Bb5 Bb5*
Verse 2:
A Dm
Oh, make way for I am not the redeemer
Gm
Nor do the mountains fall in my name
Bb
But with slightest cry, my hunter
C
You will fail to reach your prey
Dm
Still with idle minds unconscious
Gm
As the hunter stalks his prey
Bb C
His eyes, his eyes are locked on me
Chorus:
Bb Dm C

Bridge: Beat starts on the Gm
Gm
As I am met with travesty
Dm C
And I am broken and I am empty
Gm Dm C
And through it all I can see your face
Gm Dm C
With words unspoken I hear your voice
Gm Dm C Bb
I see the hand, the hand that writes it all
Dm C Bb
You've called the wind to show its worth
Dm C Bb
You've called the sun to brag about its warmth
Dm C Bb
Because You are the writer
Dm C Bb
Because You are the soul of the world
Chorus:
Bb Dm C
You cover the darkest part of me
Bb Dm C
With a look that's sure to set the captives free
