[F#m] [Em] [Bm]
[E] The [C] weapons master has [D] no heart, his hide [Em] is iron [C] cold.
His soul within that hide [A] is steel, or so [E] I have been [Am] told.
His [C] only care is for [D] your skill, his [E] only love is own.
[F] And where [E] another hide, he has a marble stone.
[G] That's what the [Am] common wisdom [G] holds, but common [Am] is not true.
[F] For [Am] there is often truth behind [D] what's in the [E] common view.
[Am] And [F] so it is the [G] herald's task, that in truth [E] to win,
to see behind the face without and find the face within.
[F#] [Am] [F#]
He goads [C] his students into [D] rage, he drives [E] them into pain.
[F] He mocks them [Am] and he does not [D] care that tears may [Em] fall like rain.
[E] He works them [C] when they're weary [D] and rebukes them [Em] when they fail.
[G] Cuts them [Am] to ribbons with his [E] tongue as they [Am] stand meek and pale.
[G] But will our [Am] enemies be [G] fair, nor come on [Am] us behind?
[F] And will they [A] say their tongues, or [D] in their words a [E] weapon find?
[Am] Or wait till we [F] are [G] rested before making [E] their attacks?
[A] Or will [E] they rather beat us down and then go for our [F#] baths?
[Am]
[Bm] But he has [C] no compassion, [E] does not care for man nor beast.
[F] And when a [Am] student's gone, he [D] does not notice [Em] in the least.
And no one [C] calls this man their [D] love, and no one [E] calls him friend.
[F] And none can [Am] judge him by [Em] his face or what he [Am] may intend.
[G] But I have [E] seen him speak the [G] word that brings [Am] hope from despair.
[F] Or drop the [Am] one word compliment [D] that makes a [E] student care.
And I have [F] seen his sorrow when [G] he hears the [E] death bell cry.
[Dm] His soul deep [Am] agony of [E] doubt that nothing can deny.
[F#]
[C] For on his shoulders rests the [D] job of fitting [E] us for [F] war.
With nothing [Am] to give him [D] the clue of what [E] to train us for.
[C] And if he fails, it is [D] not he that pays [E] but you and I.
[F] And so [F#] he dies a little when he hears [Am] the death bell cry.
[G] And now [A] you know the face [G] within, hid by the [Am] face without.
[F] The pain [Am] that he must harbor, [D] all the guilt and [E] all the doubt.
[Am] The weapons [F] master has a [G] heart, so grant his [E] stony mask.
[D] For you and [E] I aren't strong enough to bear that kind of task.
