Chords for Nightblades (Shadow Stalker)

_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
[E] They come [Am] creeping out of [E] darkness and to darkness they [Dm] [Em] return
They're [Am] weak, they leave destruction, where they go no [G] one can learn
For they [Am] leave no trace in passing as if all who [G] watched were [Em] blind
Like a [A] dream of evil sending, [A] night blades passing, night blades rending
[Am] Into darkness once [C] more blending, leaving only a dead [Am] [Em] behind
First [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Em] a [Am] threat and then a [Em] death comes in the darkness [Dm] of the [Em] night
And a [A] dozen would-be [C] allies have begun to show their [G] fright
When the [Am] night blades strike [C] unhindered and can take [E] a life at will
There's no [Am] safety in [Em] alliance and much [A] peril in defiance
It is best to [C] show compliance and that [Am] Karsite ranks to [Dm] fill
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G]
The chief envoy summons Vanu, [B] for one ally still seems brave
[C] And the treaty [G] may be salvaged [B] if Fon'ael this [D] life can save
Herald Vanu [Am] feigns refusal, senses one would [Dm] play him fool
[Em] Thinks of [F] treachery in [B] hiding, [A] lets his instincts be his guiding
His own [Am] council he is [C] biding, he'll be no unwitting tool
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ [E] Garbed in black [Am] slips, Herald [E] Vanu, to their last lone [Dm] allies [Em] keep
Over [A] wall and into [C] window, past all gates and guards to [G] creep
Past all [Am] gates and guards, no [C] magic has them wrapped in [D] deadly [G] spell
They are drugged and they are [Em] dreaming, [Am] some foe strike in friendly seeming
See, a metal dart [D] they're gleaming, Vanu knows the [A] symptoms [E] well
_ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ Now he hears another's [E] footsteps off before him [D] in the [Em] dark
And he [Am] hastes to lay [C] an ambush while the night blade seeks his [G] mark
Now he [Am] waits beside [C] the doorway of the allies' [Bm] very [G] room
A [C] night blade all unknowing, with a [A] single lamp beam showing
To a [F] confrontation's going, not to fill [Am] another tomb
[Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G]
Out of [C] shadow Vanu rises and he bars the night blade's way
He [C] has only [G] that slim warning, [Am] Vanu has him [D] soon at bay
[Em] When the guards have [Am] all awakened and he bares the night blade's face
[B] And all minds the tears are reeling when [C] he tears off buck and ceiling
And [A] the envoy's face [F] revealing brings the traitor to disgrace
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
