  Bm                                 F#m                     Bm 
Brother, there's a man at the gate, he has something in his hand, 
                                                    G 
He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him in? 
                                                 Bm 
Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our sin, our sin..... 

  Bm                             F#m                   Bm 
'Tis a diamond that he has, the biggest one I've ever seen, 
                                                         G 
And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sun, 
                                                                A 
He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the soul, 

          D      Bm     G      A     D        Bm  G        A 
We must place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire, 
 E          D                        A       G      G        A       Bm 
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine, 

  Bm                           F#m                        Bm 
Brother, fetch the Abbot now, tell him of this wondrous thing, 
                                                             G 
Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will bring, 
                                                            Bm 
When people come to see it, for money we will purify their souls, their souls, 

 Bm                                     F#m                      Bm 
With my knife I'll kill this man, I'll send him to the Promised Land, 
      G                                                       A 
And when we take the diamond, we will have the future in our hands, in our hands, 

          D      Bm     G      A     D        Bm  G        A 
When we place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire, 
 Em         D                        A       G      G        A       D  Bm G A D Bm G A D 
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine!

                Bm                         D         A            G 
That's how it started, that whole new religion, and people everywhere, 
        G                       D           Em           F# 
Had to give up all their possessions at the Abb St. Pierre, 
                Bm                      D                  A                    E 
But with their gold they could buy a redemption, and the promise of eternal life, 
         G                      D         A 
And the centre of it all was a diamond divine, 

       D        Bm     G      A        D       Bm       G          A 
It was up there on the altar high but for the monks it would not shine, 
 Em            D                  A            G           A    Bm 
So with subterfuge they used the light of the sun, fooling everyone, 

        Bm                         D      A                   G 
It was late at night when a young boy was in there with his friends, 
          G                     D       Em                 F# 
And they dared him up to the altar, to touch the famous gem, 
             Bm                      D             A                  E 
And when he did, the whole place exploded with a great and wonderful light, 
         G               D               A 
And the people came from everywhere to see, 

         D               G      A    D               G        A 
When he took it from the altar high, everyone could make it shine, 
   Em            D                  A       G 
Except the Abbot and his men, for them, no light, 
                A        D   Bm G A D Bm G A Em D A G A D 
They could not make it shine.

 And in the end, many heard the brothers, making confession of the, 
   Bb             C 
 Things they had done, 
F               C F             Bb               F    
 And the Abbot led that sad procession, as they went through the, 
  C              Bb            C     F 
 Gate past the place where it had begun 

     C           Dm        Bb                C            Bb 
 And all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories, 
F               Gm           C 
 Would come to nothing after all, 
            Dm     Bb              Am          Bb 
 Because a power greater from the world's creator, 
          F                 C             Dm  Bb 
 Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul, 
       F                  C             F 
 Only love can light the mirror of the soul, 

F                 C    F               Bb     F            Gm 
 All through the world, there are many others, who always follow 
        Bb            C 
 Everything they are told, 
F             C   F         Bb        F              C     
 By men with rules and regulations, using old superstitions and 
  Bb         C        F 
 Tales to assume control, 

     C           Dm        Bb                C          Bb 
 But all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories, 
F              Gm           C 
 Will come to nothing after all, 
            Dm     Bb              Am          Bb 
 Because a power greater from the world's creator, 
          F                 C             Dm  Bb 
 Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul, 
       F                  C             F   Dm Bb C Bb 
 Only love can light the mirror of the soul, 
F              Gm           C   
 They come to nothing after all, 
            Dm     Bb              Am          Bb 
 Because a power greater from the world's creator, 
          F                 C             Dm  Bb 
 Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul, 
       F                  C             F 
 Only love can light the mirror of the soul.
