"The Peaks"
Dm C F
So they came one by one,
Am Bb
There was never any warning,
Dm C F Am Bb
Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long,
Dm C
And I saw the whole rise,
F Am Bb
I saw the whole thing fall, down,
Dm C F Am Bb
And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out
Dm C F Am Bb
And Im left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
Dm C F Am Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
Dm C F Am Bb
And Ive seen more villages burn than animals born,
Dm C F Am Bb
Ive seen more towers come down than children grow up

Dm C F
Cross the peaks, cross the marsh
Am Bb
Cross your fingers for the last time,
Dm C F
And pass out the blame to someone,
Am Bb
And never stepping up, son!
Dm C F Am Bb
Nobodys asking; Why is your head bent down? So?
Dm C F Am Bb
There’s trillions lost, Im dreaming of a different time
Dm C F Am Bb
And Im left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
Dm C F Am Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
Dm C F Am Bb
And Ive seen more villages burn than animals born,
Dm C F Am Bb
Ive seen more towers come down than children grow up
Dm C F Am Bb
And Ive seen biomass swarm, back and forth across the globe
Dm C F Am Bb
They try all manner of things just to keep it all afloat,
Dm C F Am Bb
And Ive seen more criminals hung than innocents walk,
Dm C F Am Bb
Ive seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up
Dm C F Am
Come now, decider, sit down, beside me,
Bb
Tell me my world is gone.
