Eliza Gilkyson In The Name Of The Lord Lyrics

Em G D Am

[Verse 1]
Em G
So now you're talking to the night
D Am
You read the words by candlelight
Em G
You cling to them with all your might
D Am
In the hollow of your soul

[Verse 2]
Em G
You dread the crashing of the rain,
D Am
The waters rising on the plain,
Em G
The lightning flash, the hurricane
D Am
Out of your control

[Bridge]
Am D Em G D Am
And it's all, in the name of the Lord

[Verse 3]
Em G
We're prisoners in a fairy tale
D Am
A ship of fools all set to sail
Em G
We watch the empires epic fail
D Am
On shiny hand held screens

[Verse 4]
Em G
The rapture of the buy and sell
D Am
The faithful at the wishing well
Em G
They rage against the infidel
D Am Lurking in their dreams

[Bridge]
Am D Em
And it's all, in the name of the Lord
Am D Em
And it's all, in the name of the Lord

[Instrumentl]

Em G D Am Em G D Am
Em G D Am Em G D Am

[Verse 5]
Em G
Pull the oil up through the sands
D Am Em
Desecrate the Holy lands
Em G
The blood will never touch your hands
D Am
In the land so far away

[Verse 6]
Em G
The lies we tell to fill the hole, like
D Am
Coins dropped in a beggars bowl
Em G
They can't redeem us when we go
D Am
Into the dimming day

[Bridge]
Am D Em
And it's all, in the name of the Lord
Am D Em
And it's all, in the name of the Lord

[Outro]

G D Am Em G D Am Em G D Am Em G D Am
