F Dm Bb x2
F
So they came one by one,
Dm Bb
There was never any warning,
F Dm Bb
Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long,
Am Bb
And I saw the whole rise,
F Dm Bb
I saw the whole thing fall, down,
Dm F Bb
And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out
F Dm Bb
And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
Dm F Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
F Dm Bb
And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
F Dm Bb
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up

F
Cross the peaks, cross the marsh
Dm Bb
Cross your fingers for the last time,
F
And pass out the blame to someone,
Dm Bb
And never stepping up, son!
F Dm Bb
Nobody’s asking; “Why is your head bent down? So?”
Dm F Bb
There’s trillions lost, I’m dreaming of a different time
F Dm Bb
And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
Dm F Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
F Dm Bb
And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
F Dm Bb
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up

Woaaah] x4

And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
F Dm Bb
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up
