C C/B
One day the knife began to fall
Am Gsus4
And as it dropped, I heard it call
F C
Oh father, see how I have grown,
F G
The bastard fruit of seed you've sown.
C C/B
Lost my erection
Am Gsus4
Saw my reflection
F C
It was hard to see that face,
Dm
He said "Welcome home, brother,
G
How have you been?"
C C/B
We're at the end of an era,
Am Gsus4
No more sharpening our arrows,
F C
No more praying we never hit
F G
The things that we are shooting at
C C/B
We've gone through the valley
Am Gsus4
We've borne our burden badly,
F C
But lift up your ears and turn around,
F C
I think I can hear a sound.
Dm
The tune is sweet, the rhythm strong,
G Am G
A music that could bring us all together again.
C C/B
One night I left my lady's side,
Am Gsus4
I felt some change within the tide,
F C
Pulled a blanket over me,
F G
Sent my little boat to sea.
C C/B
I could feel the waves come,
Am Gsus4
And find the rhythm,
F C
The ocean won't let you forget,
Dm
Tide rolls out,
G
But the tide will come back in.
C C/B
We're at the end of an era,
Am Gsus4
No more sharpening our arrows,
F C
No more praying we never hit
F G
The things that we are shooting at.
C C/B
We've left our lovers waiting,
Am Gsus4
Spent our juices masturbating,
F C
Now I think it's time we start
F C
To build something that has a heart.
Dm
The air is growing thick with tones
G Am G
That just might bring these scattered bones together again.
C C/B
One morning, we woke up to find
Am Gsus4
The chasm had become so wide
F C
Between us and our fathers,
F G
And while we slept the space grew larger.
C C/B
I could feel the shadow,
Am Gsus4
I could hear the echo
F C
Of a song I know he used to sing,
Dm
Start to remember
G
how it begins.
C C/B
We're at the end of an era,
Am Gsus4
No more sharpening our arrows,
F C
No more praying we never hit
F G
The things that we are shooting at.
C C/B
We've sent our vessels out to sea,
Am Gsus4
Tied our feathers to the tree,
F C
Spent the winter on our knees,
F C
Looking for these melodies.
Dm
The songs of a forgotten king
G Am G
Who longs to hear his people sing together again.
