Intro (6x)


Let’s take a moment and break the ice
So my intentions are known
See I have pity in watching you suffer
I know the feeling of being damned
alone, I’ve got a storybook of my own

Don’t you see I am your pride,
Agent of wealth,
Bearer of needs. (And you know it’s right)
I am your war, Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

Well I can promise you paradise
No need to serve on your knees
And when you’re lost in the darkest of hours
Take a moment and tell me who you see
Won’t tell you who not to be

No you know I am your pride,
Agent of wealth,
Bearer of needs. (And you know it’s right)
I am your war, Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

Bridge
Dm Bb Bb G G (4x)






Do this pattern 2x (Dm Bb Bb G G) throughout the following poem
Disciple of the cross and champion in the suffering
Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption
Harden your mind through the chains of the divine
Make way for the shepherd of fire

Through the ages of time
I’ve been known for my hate
But I’m a dealer of simple choices
For me it’s never too late

I am your pride,
Agent of wealth,
Bearer of needs. (And you know it’s right)
I am your war, Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
I am your wrath.
I am your guilt.
I am your lust. (And you know it’s right)
I am your law.
I am your star.
I am your trust.
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire
