  Bm                                 F#m                     BmBrother, there's a man at the gate, he has something in his hand,
                                                    GHe says it fell down from the sky, should I let him in?
                                                 BmMaybe 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,
                                                         GAnd when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sun,
                                                                AHe says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the soul,

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

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

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

          D      Bm     G      A     D        Bm  G        AWhen 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 DPower over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine!

                Bm                         D         A            GThat'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                    EBut with their gold they could buy a redemption, and the promise of eternal life,
         G                      D         AAnd the centre of it all was a diamond divine,

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

        Bm                         D      A                   GIt 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                  EAnd when he did, the whole place exploded with a great and wonderful light,
         G               D               AAnd the people came from everywhere to see,

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

F               C F             Bb               F    And the Abbot led that sad procession, as they went through the,

     C           Dm        Bb                C            Bb And all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,

F             C   F         Bb        F              C     By men with rules and regulations, using old superstitions and
