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
