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?
