Intro: Em C
Em C Em C
This darkness would eclipse our will
Em C Em C
a cold wind blows across these hills
Em C Em C
a swinging gaze from a hangman's tree
Em C Em C
a crow's nest view of what's left to see
D C
the light that's formed of saints return the silence to the snow
D C
still beneath the craters waiting for this time to grow
Cm Am
so hold on hold tight
Em Bm Cm Am Em
open daylight we will over--come
Em(cont) C Em C Em C
so put away your fear the morning star will soon appear
Em C Em C
and bring an end to this dark night
Em C Em C
and we must run if we're to meet the light
Bm C
watered by the blood of martyrs blessed and blind as sons and daughters
D Em C
sleep with one eye open and live with both eyes shut
Bm C
so let's find the place where sight begins and see the things that we saw when our
D Em C
eyes were bright and wet against the light
D Em C
let our eyes be bright and wet against the light
Cm Am
and hold on hold tight
Em Bm Cm Am Em (pull off/hammer on the D string)
open daylight we will over--come
Cm Am Em G#m
open your eyes over the new sight
Cm Am Em
fly the flags of dawn
