D C#aug
In this library I could lose myself
C G
Transports, gateways on every shelf
D C#aug
Dark words, bright words of ice and fire
C G
As if an angel did descend
D C#aug
And use the writer as a pen
C G
For here are 'Avalon of the Heart'
D
'Flight into freedom'
C#aug C
Macdonald's 'Lilith' and 'Fantastes'
G E
Lewis's 'Perelandra'
[Chorus]
C#m A
I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
E
That it may be born again on another world
C#m A
I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
E C G
That it may be born again on another world
[Verse]
G D C#aug
Come friend, let us climb the winding flights of stairs
C G
Through the narrow door into the chamber bare
D C#aug
A single candle burns as we seat ourselves
C G D
Words take form in our minds and repeat themselves
C#aug C
"My beloved and I are one
G D
My beloved and I are one
C#aug C
My beloved and I are one
G E
My beloved and I are one"
[Chorus]
C#m A
I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
E
That it may be born again on another world
C#m A
I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
E
That it may be born again
C#m A C G
I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
[Verse]
D C#aug
Out here on the tower the air is cold and clear
C G
The stars and moon are bright above us
D C#aug
A night wind whispers in our ears
C G
And it loves us
D C#aug
And though your body weary is
C G
In this grand canyon state of mind
D C#aug
If high stream of dreams and truth be told
C G
And our intentions be entwined
D C#aug
Then from these high flung tower walls
C G
Let healing grace and blessings fall
D C#aug
Over all this cracked and broken land
C G
From northern crag to southern down
D C#aug
From universal hall to Camden town
C G
From city square to village green
D C#aug
From parliament to housing scheme
C E
From Iona to the hill of dreams
[Chorus]
C#m A
I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
A
That it may be born again
[Outro]
