I'm alone, him and me And then life itself can not aspire To have someone be so admired I threw creation to my king With the silence broken by a whispered wind

Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground And root to root and tip to tip I look at him my country gyp Let it up I own his fears But someone brought you close to tears Many trains and many miles Like you to me on this sunny isle And what of which you wish to speak Have you come here to rescue me? All of this can be broken All of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

Made By Maid

They danced like sirens, hoping the sun would come out again
E
A
And I was born in the fog of that day
A
Could they hear a babe, under all that faith
E
D
A
D
A
Or have they forgot what it was they made?
E
Crawled out of the fog, found a river
A
D
A
Found a log and floated away
A
Didn't think I'd be coming back this way
E
But my feet resolute, found their root
A
D
A
And brought me back to its place
E
And on the hill where I was born
E
There is a rose without a thorn
A
They cut it off each year and give it away
A
But can they hear a babe, after all these days
E
D
A
D
A
Or have they forgot what it was that they made?
A
So left to wander blind
E
A
D
A
I find myself in cautious times, and they say
D
Love's labours never lost
E
A
D
A
But labor on to this very day
E
So I walk into the fog
D
A
D
A
Find a babe atop a log, and all alone
E
Took him under, took him on
A
D
A
Taught him everything about the world I've come to know
D
A
He blames me for every wrong ever he made
D
A
I'm blamed for every wrong ever he made
D
A
Forgive me I am only a maid
D
A
Forgive me I am only a maid
A
But I can still see a babe
A
Under all that blame
E
A
But I am forgot from the day I am laid

 Oh, naive little me Asking what things you have seen You're vulnerable in your head You'll scream and you'll wail till you're dead Creatures veiled by night Following things that aren't right And they're tired and they need to be led They'll scream and they'll wail till they're dead But give me to a rambling man Let it always be known that that was who I am Beaten battered and cold My children will live just to grow old But if I sit here and weep I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze And the weak need to be led And the tender are carried to their bed And it's a pale and cold affair And I'll be damned if I'll be found there But give me to a rambling man Let it always be known that that was who I am It's funny how the first chords you come to Are the minor notes that come to serenade you It's hard to accept yourself as someone... you don't desire As someone you don't want to be But give me to a rambling man Let it always be known that that was who I am But give me to a rambling man Let it always be known that that was who I am

 He could fall and shake and weep, as holy are my feet And heart with mention the dear they may not speak We feel tight when there is tension And our eyes can make us weep
Main riff
Verse 2:
And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun Could embrace sweet desires in moments as they pass But he feared ever more, he saw it didn't last
Main riff
Verse 3:
We'd walk up Holland Avenue, And watch the rich as they consume That product made our hearts exude, an emptiness unrivalled by The hunger that I could control He'd pray up to his God that he might save their soul
