Verse 1:
E5 Cmaj7
Her skin glowed green and blue
Asus2 Cmaj7 E5
The starry sky dimmed by fiery hues
Cmaj7 Asus2
My white dress blew in midnight's view
N.C.
Of the world reborn, begun anew
Em Cmaj7 Asus2
Two thousand years and twenty more
Cmaj7 E5
And she looked beautiful as ever before
Cmaj7 Asus2
As she pushed me down into the warm
B7 B7/13-
Water deep below my clothes were torn
Pre-Chorus
Em C
Lilith you siren
A C
How could you do this to me?
Em C
Lilith I'm dyin'
A B7
Why won't you set me free?
Em C
I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind
A C
The petals softly floating into my eyes
Em C
I felt your fingers slowly crawl up my spine
A B7
We didn't have to sink for you to be mine
Verse 2:
Em Cmaj7
Her eyes were as red as dawn
Asus2 Cmaj7
As she held me down under the pond
E5 Cmaj7
Fireworks filled the sky beyond
Asus2 Bsus4 Em/B
I heard the cheers from above the lawn
Em Cmaj7
Soft hands brushed through my thighs
Asus2 Cmaj7 E5
You were evil everyone else had realized
Cmaj7 Asus2
Thought I was different thought I'd save your soul
B7 B7/13-
Guess you can't save what isn't half of a whole
Pre-Chorus
Em C
Lilith you siren
A C
How could you do this to me?
Em C
Lilith I'm dyin'
A B7
Why won't you set me free?
Em C
I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind
A C
The petals softly floating into my eyes
Em C
I felt your hands as they wrapped around my neck
A B7
When did our love become this shallow shipwreck?
Bridge:
Em C
Two thousand years and twenty more and I thought
Asus2 C
I was weaker than I had ever been before
Em C
But the moonlight's rays hit the water below
Asus2 C
and it was now or never to swim to the garden and oh,
Em C
Did she push and pull tryin' to get me to drown
Asus2 C
But the lilies in my mind began to run aground
Em C
As I gripped and dragged myself along the dirt
Asus2 C
I turned back to face the girl I loved for all of my hurt
Em C
Said ?my dear this is it, I have got to go?
Asus2 B
And she faded in the deep and murky water below
Pre-Chorus
Em C
Lilith you siren
A C
How could you do this to me?
Em C
Lilith I'm cryin'
A B7
My pain will stay with me
Em C
Lilith you siren (I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind)
A C
You were so cruel and so mean (The petals softly floating into my eyes)
Em C
Lilith I'm tryin' (I felt your hands as they wrapped around my neck)
A B7
To love life now that I'm free
End:
Em
