by the light of the moon,

And dreams she can reach them

with a song and a broom.

forth out of darkness,
Am chordAm C chordC
Into this world,

through blood and through pain.

the old songs are waking,

So sing the with voices of thunder and rain.

I think that the ending of the chorus should be: G Em, G Em Am. Whereas the ending of the verse should be: G Em, Em Am (but also G Em, G Am sounds okay)
