Gm    Dsus   D

 

     Gm                                    F                                          Gm  Cm/G   Gm

   Now the darkness gathers, rise Son of man take your stand,

           F      Gm                   Cm D7     Gm            F                Gm

   You are alone, they were sleeping, Forces of death are at hand.

  

     Gm                                       F                                    Gm  Cm/G   Gm

   See the one who leads them, once followed you day by day,

       F      Gm                   Cm D7  Gm                 F           Gm

He has betrayed you for silver, soon they will lead you away.

 

     Gm                                    F                                Gm  Cm/G   Gm

   Can you see him smiling? Draws near to you with a kiss!

       F          Gm                Cm    D7   Gm             F          Gm

“Judas, my friend, don’t betray me, with such a sign as this!”

    

    Am                                     G                              Am    Dm/A  Am

   “I’m the one you’re seeking, now put your swords away!

    G         Am            Dm E7  Am           G           Am

I see the cup is now ready, shall I not drink it today?
