    Verse 1
    Like 
    carillon 
    bells, 

    the house 
    of 
    Au
    gustus 
    rings 

    With the 
    echoing 
    hymn 
    of 
    my 
    fellow 
    passerine, 

    they 
    took 
    to 
    it 

    Like 
    a fox 
    to 
    a burrow, 

    like 
    an eagle 
    to 
    an aerie 

    And my 
    god, 
    it's getting 
    hard 
    to even 

    hum 
    a single 
    thing, 
    'cause 

    You 
    were the song 
    that 
    I'd 
    always 
    sing 

    You 
    were 
    the 
    light 
    that 

    the 
    fire 
    would 
    bring 

    But I 
    can't 
    shake 
    this 
    feeling 

    that 
    I 
    was 
    only 

    Pushing 
    the spear 
    into 
    your 

    side 
    again 


    See, 
    my 
    birds 
    of 
    a kind, 

    the more 
    and more 
    are 
    looking 
    like 

    Centurions 
    than 
    any 
    little 
    mes

    si
    ah 
    (messiah) 

    As I 
    prune 
    my 
    feathers 
    like 

    leaves 
    from a 
    vine 

    I 
    find 
    that 
    we 
    have 
    fewer 

    and 
    fewer 
    in 
    kind, 
    but 

    My 
    palms 
    and 
    fingers 
    still 

    reek 
    of 
    gasol
    ine 

    From 
    throwing 
    fuel 
    to the 
    fire 
    of 

    that 
    Greco-Roman 
    dream 

    dream 

    Purifying 
    the 
    holy 
    rock 
    to 

    melt 
    the 
    gilded 
    seams 

    It don't 
    bring 
    me 
    relief, 
    no, 

    it don't 
    bring 
    me 
    nothing 
    that 

    You 
    were 
    the song 
    that I'd 
    always 
    sing 

    You 
    were the 
    light 
    that 

    the 
    fire 
    would 
    bring 

    But I 
    can't 
    shake 
    this 

    feeling 
    that 
    I 
    was 
    only 

    Push
    ing 
    the spear 
    into 
    your 
    side 
    again 
    and again 
    and again 




    When he 
    comes 
    a 
    knocking 
    at 
    my 
    door 

    What 
    am I 
    to do, 
    what 
    am I 
    to do, 

    oh, Lord? 

    When the 
    cold 
    wind 
    rolls 

    in 
    from 
    the 
    north 

    What 
    am 
    I 
    to do, 
    what 
    am I to 
    do, 

    oh, 
    Lord? (Oh, Lord) 

    When 
    he comes 
    a 
    knocking 
    at 
    my 
    door 

    What 
    am I 
    to do, 
    what 
    am I 
    to 
    do, 

    oh, 
    Lord? (Oh, Lord) 

    When 
    the cold 
    wind 
    rolls 

    in 
    from 
    the 
    north 

    What 
    am I 
    to do, 
    what 
    am I 
    to do, 

    oh, 
    Lord? (Oh, Lord) 

    When 
    he comes 
    a 
    knocking 
    at 
    my 

    door 
    (at my door) 

    What am I 
    to do, 
    what 
    am I 
    to do, 

    oh, Lord? (Oh, Lord) 

    When 
    the cold 
    wind 
    rolls 
    in 
    from 

    the north 
    (from the 
    north) 

    What 
    am I 
    to do, 
    what 
    am I 
    to do, 
    oh, 
    Lord?

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
