Dm Am Bb x2
Dm
So they came one by one,
Am Bb
There was never any warning,
Dm Am Bb
Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long,
Dm
And I saw the whole rise,
Am Bb
I saw the whole thing fall, down,
Dm Am Bb
And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out
Dm Am Bb
And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
Dm Am Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
Dm Am Bb
And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
Dm Am Bb
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up
Dm
Cross the peaks, cross the marsh
Am Bb
Cross your fingers for the last time,
Dm
And pass out the blame to someone,
Am Bb
And never stepping up, son!
Dm Am Bb
Nobody’s asking; “Why is your head bent down? So?”
Dm Am Bb
There’s trillions lost, I’m dreaming of a different time
Dm Am Bb
And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
Dm Am Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
Dm Am Bb
And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
Dm Am Bb
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up

Woaaah] x4
Dm Am Bb
And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
Dm Am Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
Dm Am Bb
And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
Dm Am Bb
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up
