G              Em  C 
When serpents come  
                 D          G 
They cover the Christ Thorn  
              Em         C 
Two heads and cock heads  
                     D    G 
Serpents feed of emotion  
                  Em 
Lidded eyes and smudged realities  
C                    D    G 
Everything has two faces  
                 Em               C 
One is earthly without true form  
                            D 
The other blackened and blackening  

G                   Em 
 Mother is in the fields  
C                   D 
 Father is in the fields  

G                   Em          C 
You know well its tortured form  
                      D               G 
It's locked within a particular place  
                       Em             C 
It's locked within a particular form  
                   D            G 
It's jailed by a falling light  
              Em             C 
With angles shapes and sighs  
                 D    G 
It's held by twowood  
               Em       C 
It's held by threeplace  
                      D 
It's a name that has no name  

G                   Em 
 Mother is in the fields  
C                   D 
 Father is in the fields  

G                       Em     C 
It's a form creating formless   
                    D 
Formless creating form  
G                         Em         C 
Oh, four towers read them backwards  
                     D    G 
Do not spell their sound  
                    Em  
Do not move to their lies  
C  
Speak the words  
D                     G 
And they create the universe  
    Em  C 
And    
                  D 
They destroy all universe  

G                   Em 
 Mother is in the fields  
C                   D 
 Father is in the fields  

G             Em 
Heavy-lidded eyes  
                 C 
Do not mask the pain  
                    D           G 
They shade us from the burning light  
             Em 
Listen: one face one form  
      C             D 
One truth one light  
                              G 
I see it through the staining glass  
                           Em     C 
I see it fractured in the world

It's appearance only)

 Mother is in the fields  
C                   D 
 Father is in the fields  

G 
An eagle flies  
     Em 
His bloody face  
C 
Behind bloody claws  
D                    G 
Behind bloody cause  
              Em           C 
His pain is blackened rain  
               D         G     
His reign is Romanzion pain  
              
It is not finished  
     Em 
It happens now  
    C                  D 
Matchstick men in a matchstick world  
            G 
Match the prick with the sickle  
           Em                  C 
Make the sickle slice the corn  
                      D 
Time stops when he was thirty-three

 And mother is in the fields  
C                   D 
 Father is in the fields  

G                     Em 
Time stops when I'm thirty  
C                D 
Time stops then  
                 G 
And time stops there  

Then is now  
Em 
Why do we not see it?  
C                       D 
Time stops time breaks time holds  
       G 
Time ceases  
                       Em 
The pestle grinds the mortar  
      C 
The mortar turns to dust 
     D 
The metal turns to rust 
G 
Words they fail  
         Em 
And they fall apart  
      C 
The Corn it dies  
         D 
And is reborn  

G                   Em 
 Mother is in the fields  
C                   D 
 Father is in the fields   

G                        Em 
Blond hair moves in the blond corn  
C 
Boyd wears black  
        D 
And he talks of death  
     G 
But all his face  
            Em 
Spell out light  
C  
Michael's on the roof  
       D 
He's kissing a Rose  
G 
Blood drops come  
        Em 
From the heart of her life  
C 
Something hangs  
  D               
Above there in the skies  
G 
Something hovers  
           Em 
Above his brown hair  
 C 
Life la-las  
        D 
In the background of light  
         G 
And the birds don't sing  
          Em 
When the curtain snaps  
  C 
Anita's in Ireland  
       D 
She's falling over rocks  
G 
Scars are for her scarring  
Em 
Scars are for her pain  
     C 
And all her scars  
             D 
Meet in a falling star  
    
     G                     Em 
And some make money from weapons  

Blood  
     C                     D 
And some make money from hunger  

Blood  
     G                     Em 
And some make money from politics  

Blood  
     C                     D 
And some make money from fear  

Blood  
     G                     Em 
And some make money from religion  

It's blood  
     C 
The world falls apart  
     D 
The world starts to cease  
     G    Em 
And mother is in the fields  
C     D                  G 
Father has died in the fields
