Dead Can Dance is an Australian musical project formed in 1981 in Melbourne by Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. The band relocated to London, England, in May 1982. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described Dead Can Dance's style as "constructed soundscapes of mesmerizing grandeur and solemn beauty; African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chant, Middle Eastern mantras, and art rock."
Having disbanded in 1998, they reunited briefly in 2005 for a world tour and reformed in 2011

Intro: Bbm + Bbm + G# + F# + Fm (time) 4 4 4 2 2 BbmBbm Saw the demonstration G#F#Fm On remembrance day BbmBbm Lest we forget the lesson G#F#Fm Enshrined in funeral clay History is never written By those who've lost The defeated must bear witness to Our collective memory loss
With every generation comes Another memory lapse See the demonstrations of Failing to learn from our past We live in the dreamtime Nothing seems to last Can you really plan a future When you no longer have a past
Chorus: BbmBbmG#F#Fm Memories fall from the trees BbmBbmG#F#Fm A-m-n-e-----s-----ia BbmBbmG#F#Fm Memories like autumn leaves
If we are subject to Empirical minds I wonder what lies beyond Our memory's confines If memory is the true Sum of who we are May your children know the truth And shine like the brightest star
Memories help me see Amnesia Memories set me free
