Verse:
C#m Ab
Maybe you'll see me on the evening news
C#m Ab
Maybe you'll see me with a bag over my head
C#m Ab
If that's the case then I've met my doom
C#m Ab
If that's the case then my comrades are dead
C#m Ab
And I don't hate my enemy
C#m Ab
I hate the cloud he's brought over my land
C#m Ab
There's no virtue in killing a man
C#m Ab
Neither is there virtue in being afraid to stand
Pre-Chorus
C#m Ab
But I saw the blackcoats forming lines
C#m Ab
They hit our beaches running
A E Ab
We're on our knees but not to pray
Chorus
A E
You're the only reason I stay
Ab
In this coward's melee
C#m B
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love
A E
Sing while the city decays
Ab
We'd rather go up in flames
A Am
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love
Verse 2
(N.C. Throughout this part)
You can't change the course of fates sealed long ago
But hope is not lost Code name corbeau
We trade their secrets at cost for our lives
The Panzer is strong the raven is wise
C#m Ab
I tune my ears to the BBC
C#m Ab
I can hear them they can't hear me
C#m Ab
I long to forget all the horrors I've seen
C#m Ab
I'll live like a ghost I'll die with the free
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge

Inside the fuselage
Valiant young soldiers singing songs
Fear not my downcast brothers
We are the strong arm of the law
C# C#/C B C#/C
By land and air and sea
C# C#/C B A Ab A
On wings of destiny we ride
A E Ab A
SING WHILE THE CITY DECAYS

SING WHILE WE GO UP IN FLAMES

I'm on your side until my body drains of blood

Lest we betray the names of dignity and love
A Am E
I'm on your side until my body drains of blood
