And re-creation find

E   B       F#m A
So overcome thy fear
E         F#m  C#m    F#   E  A
And burst into sudden blaze
E          B    A             B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears
         E        A    A  E  A
And slit the thin spun life

Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail
D   A       C#m  F#
Thy justice fear

Walk in shadow, walk in dread
E         F#m     C#m      F#  E  A
Loosefish walk as like one dead
E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea
E       F#m     C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever
E        B       A             B
Anything down there about your souls
     E         A    A    E  A
Will smash the sun alight
B   C#m         F#      A        E       F#
Ah! Yield week in, weak out from morn to night
        E    F#sus4     A
Feelers from across the sea
     F#sus4   C#m  F#  C#m  F#
Come crawling over thee

E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea
   E       F#m  C#m F#  E  A
No more to rise forever
E        B    F#m    A
One drop in a winter sea

No more to rise forever
E          B    A             B
Come blind fury with abhorred shears
         E        A    A  E  A
And slit the thin spun life
B   C#m     F#         A     E       F#sus4  F#m
Ah! Sobbing with their human sort of wail
D   A    C#m  F#   E  A
The thin spun life

We are those whose thunder shakes the skies

Whose eyes this atom globe surveys

Thy justice fear, hooray!
