[Verse 1]
A
Walking out on the revelation trail
A Bm E
Going nowhere slowly
A
In the face of a terminal wind
D Bm E
I look over my shoulder to glory
A
For all that around me is lost and changed
D Bm E
The moon and the stars and the feelings remain
A F#m
As long as I draw emotion in breath
Bm E
I will never forget, I'll never forget
[Bridge]
A
The light of the world keeps shining
D E
Bright in the primal glow
A D
Bridging the living dust to dust
Bm E
Such a long long way to go

[Verse 2]
A
Going down to the memory well
A Bm E
No romance, no warning
A
Breaking the land with the saints of your soil
D Bm E
In the light of all constant dawning
A
I'm held in the grasp of the blessed and the old
D Bm E
The hand that civilization's forgotten to hold
A F#m
Rushing onwards, racing in chains
Bm E
I'm chasing the days, chasing the days
[Bridge]
A
The light of the world keeps shining
D E
Bright in the primal glow
A D
Bridging the living dust to dust
Bm E
Such a long long way to go

[Verse 3]
E E7 E
I see you laughing 'round the fires of harvest
E E7 E
Flame grabbing and your arms entwined
E E7 E
Dying tribe take a righteous glance
Bm E
To the sharing days and the common wine
[Bridge]
A
The light of the world keeps shining
D E
Bright in the primal glow
A D
Bridging the living dust to dust
Bm E
Such a long long way to go
[Verse 4]
A
There's a shrine on an Assynt hillside
A Bm E
It's made of earth and salt and rain
A
Now you walk out in the morning
D Bm E E
With your sacrifice of change
