Verse 1

        Dm                                                  F
It was a numinous night, wet and cold like the last week of autumn
        Dm                                            F
I felt a shiver dividing my bones from the top to the bottom
               Gm                                             Bb        Bb A
And there were two of me then, one part flesh and the other a phantom
        Dm                                         F
To the phantom I said, get behind me, ye vamp of Diablo
             Dm                                           F
It said, you speak out of turn, I am born of the shadow inside you
           Gm                                                  Bb        Bb A
And I have lived in your heart and with it I've become quite accustomed

Chorus

Dm                                       Gm
Choose your blade, we shall dance in the blood and the rain
                     C
I grow sick of your whispered betrayals
Bb                A   Bb            A
Go where the dead go, tu estas muerto
Dm                                      Gm
Choose your blade, I won't be held as a prisoner of shame
                    C
I grow sick of your lies and your games
Bb              A   Bb                 A   Dm
Get thee behind me, you shall not bind me

Verse 2

         Dm                                         F
It was a coward's decision when I offered you sanctuary
            Dm                                                 F
I knew it, right then and there that our cartel would be my undoing
        Gm                                           Bb        Bb A
But I, rationalized and believed every mangled half truth
