Vesuvius

Em G Bm A (X 2) Em

G Bm
Vesuvius, I am here
A Em
You are all I have
G Bm
Fire of fire, I'm insecure
A Em
For it has all been made to plan

G Bm
Though I know I will fail
A Em
I cannot be made to laugh
G Bm
For in life as in death
A Em
I'd rather be burned than be living in death
G Bm A
La la la la la la la
Em G Bm A Em
La la la la la la la

G Bm
Vesuvius, are you ghost
A Em
Or the symbols of light Or of fantasy host
G Bm
In your breast I carry the form
A Em
The heart of the earth and the weapons of warmth

G Bm
Vesuvius, the tragic oath
A Em
For you have destroyed the elegant smoke
G Bm
Oracle, I fought him at last
A Em G Bm A
They were the feast of a permanent blast

Em G Bm A Em

G Bm
Vesuvius, oh be kind
A Em
It hasn't occurred, no it hasn't been said
G Bm
Sufjan, follow the path
A Em
It leads to an article of eminent death

G Bm
Sufjan, follow your heart
A Em
Follow the flame, or fall on the floor
G Bm
Sufjan, the panic inside

The murdering ghost that you cannot ignore

Follow me now, as I fever the ghost

Why does it have to be so hard
