Old pirates, yes, they rob I.

Sold I to the merchant ships
G                        Em  C         G/B        Am
  minutes after they took I   from the bottomless pit.

'Cause none of them can stop the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets
         C      G/B      Am
While we stand aside and look?

Ooh, some say it's just a part of it.

We've got to fulfill the book.
