[Intro]
Am G Am C G Em Am
Am G Am C Em
[Verse]
C G
Sing a song of dawn
Dm Am
Dawn, the day reborn
F Dm G Am
Breathe deep of the dawn before the storm
Am
Am Em
This hearth, this home
F
Wrested forth from tired fingers,
C Em
Bathed in blood and sealed in stone
Am Em
Soul scarred, twelve-fold
F Dm
Beckoned by the bells of vengeance
Em
Spirits bold
C Em
A lover lost, a family torn
Am Em
A solemn pyre raised to rouse the slumbering heavens
F G E Am
Fire in your eyes, fire in your hearts
F Dm11 G
Steeled as you sound the horns of war
C Em
Yet know the cost, for who shall mourn
Am Em
When light is quenched that another might burn brighter?
F G Em Am
Let not the rays of justice blind
F G A
E'er trust in Grace, and she shall guide
[Bridge]
F C Dm Em
Soft is the breeze that can set a petal free
F C Dm C
And yet, tis the storm that doth see the petal soar
F C Dm Em
High o'er the trees in the groves of liberty
F Dm Am
Til unstirring stars consign her to memory
F C Dm Em
One kingdom's fall is another kingdom's freedom
F C Dm C
One sovereign's war is another sovereign's peace
F C Dm Em
One mother's pride is another mother's sorrow
F G Am
Their tears both soak the land that they love
Am
G
[Verse]
Am Em
Two lives, two swords
F Dm Em E
Given in to shadowed whispers, wicked words
C Em
Pray, tell me who doth laud at dawn
Am Em
A rival's cry for the oaths that spur her onward
F G Em Am
Your time is come, a choice bestowed
F G A
Tonight for unsung sins atone
F G Am
This night you need not walk alone
