Verse 1
(C major) Night closed in around us
and we trimmed the lamps again
Against the greatest darkness
man had known
A nation's grain was locked
against the famine of another
And hope was in the fast lane,
riding home
They (F major) were roaring from their buildings,
(C major) which were monuments
To greed and fear and the (G major) science
and the logic that had failed
(A minor) And minds (D minor) were merely silicon,
the (A minor) aimless
This world had power
to grasp the (F major) thunder
and to dash it to the (G major) ground
We were (C major) slow to come to anger
as we were slow to understand
And we groped the words
that might contain the rage
And na (A minor) ked terror faded into
shadows of (E major) despair
Still we (F major) fought the rising
madness of our age (G major)
We (F major) marched in tens of thousands
While the (C major) cynics printed curses
As usu (G major) al, they'd seen it all before
(A minor) And our (D minor) freedom left us nothing
But to (A minor) turn to face the tyranny (G major) of si (F major) lence
Lest it blow away the dawn (G major)
(C major) (Csus4) (C major)
(F major)
Dark (C major) and dreadful morning
of a (F major) limited exchange
Force (C major) and motion made the planet drift (F major)
The (A minor) flash of sightless white drift
through av (E minor) enues an (E major) d highways
Explosion, (F major) red explosion from within
(G major) A (F major) rising earth in agony,
a (C major) bleeding smoking wasteland
Where the (G major) wind sang songs
of poison to the dawn (A minor)
We (C major) (D minor) wondered while we waited
If some (A minor) beings out in space and time
Were (F major) watching just another fading star (G major)
Those who gained the shelters
Were those who faced the judge (D minor) ment
(C major) Of a pale and tragic sun upon our faces
The (A minor) crumbling ruins, the acid rain,
(C major) the dull and (G major) dreary wait (D minor) ing,
the sickness an (F major) d the anger
an (G major) d the pain. (C major)
The (F major) broken flat holes once so proud lay (C major) scattered
upon the cars and homes of (G major) friends of ours
who didn't even know. (A minor)
Our (D minor) memories closed upon a world
that (A minor) didn't sleep in the morning
And the (F major) cold wind blew through the corners of our (G major) souls (C major) (Csus4)
(F major) (C major) (Csus4) (A minor) (E minor)
(F major) (G major) (C major) (F major)
(Csus4) (F major) (C major) (Csus4) (A minor) (E minor)
Thank (F major) you all. (G major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (F major)
(A minor) Thank you for (E minor) (G major) (F major) watching.
