Am
Lying in a bed of my own making
G F
Surrounded by dogs baying for flesh
Am
Am I so blind to my indiscretions
G F
That I cannot see my part in this mess
Am
We scream for revenge: an eye for an eye
G F
When all of this time it’s mercy that we need
Pre-chorus: | Em | | F | | x2
G Am
Oh my God, my hiding place
G Am F
Saver of my skin
G Am F
Ever gripped by your embracing wing
Em
Take me in
Intro: | Am | | G | F |
Am
Now I am sleeping with one eye open
G F
Not really sure of who I can trust
Am
Looking over my shoulder and guarding my back
G F
Have all of my dreams turned into dust
Am
Is hope an illusion? Is love a mirage?
G F
Did we put our faith in the strength we thought we had?
Pre-chorus: | Em | | F | | x2
G Am
Oh my God, my hiding place
G Am F
Saver of my skin
G Am F
Ever gripped by your embracing wing
Em
Take me in
F
To your side
Em
There I’ll hide
F G Am
In the shadow of your frame
Am
Sooner or later this danger will pass
G F
I’ll be on my way out of this mess
Am
These hounds will be snared in the traps that they set
G F
I’ll finally be free from the howl of their threats
Pre-chorus: | Em | | F | |
G Am
Oh my God, my hiding place
G Am F
Saver of my skin
G Am F
Ever gripped by your embracing wing
Em
Take me in

Just one step ahead

An exile in the badlands

A price upon my head

And there I crawled inside

I found the darkest corner

In a desperate bid to hide

Is this where I die?

Is this where it ends?

Caught up in the vacuum

Between enemies and friends

When they encircle round like lions
Ready to devour When they gather to attack
When their words rain down like arrows
And their insults fly With tongues like swords
They strike you in the back
But this is not your end of story
No this is not your curtain call
Just listen to the whisper calling
Through it all
When they set their
snares and dig their traps
and scheme to bring
you down
Don't forget the
promises you hold
All the hopes, the
dreams, the future
that lies way beyond
your best imaginings
so have courage
But this is not your end of story
No this is not your curtain call
Just listen to the whisper calling
Through it all
No this is not your end of story x3
No this is not your end of story
This is not your curtain call
Just listen to the whisper calling
