Avalanche
---------
Intro: Fm
Fm C#
Well I stepped into an avalanche
Fm D# Fm
It covered up my soul
Fm C#
When I am not this hunchback that you see
Fm D# Fm
I sleep beneath a golden hill
G# Cm
You who wish to conquer pain
Fm C# Fm C
You must learn, learn to serve me well
Fm C#
You strike my side by accident
Fm D# Fm
As you go down for your gold
Fm C#
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Fm D# Fm
Is neither starved nor cold
G# Cm
He does not ask for your company
Fm C# Fm C
Not at the centre, the centre of the world
Fm C#
When I am on a pedestal
Fm D# Fm
You did not raise me there
Fm C#
Your laws do not compel me
Fm D# Fm
To kneel grotesque and bare
G# Cm
I myself am the pedestal
Fm C# Fm C
For this ugly hump at which you stare
Fm C#
You who wish to conquer pain
Fm D# Fm
You must learn what makes me kind
Fm C#
The crumbs of love that you offer me
Fm D# Fm
They're the crumbs I've left behind
G# Cm
Your pain is no credential here
Fm C# Fm C
It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound
Fm C#
I have begun to long for you
Fm D# Fm
I who have no greed
Fm C#
I have begun to ask for you
Fm D# Fm
I who have no need
G# Cm
You say you've gone away from me
Fm C# Fm C
But I can feel you when you breathe
Fm C#
Do not dress in those rags for me
Fm D# Fm
I know you are not poor
Fm C#
You don't love me quite so fiercely now
Fm D# Fm
When you know that you are not sure
G# Cm
It is your turn, beloved
Fm C# Fm C Fm
It is your flesh that I wear
