I seen a hand, I seen a vision
F#
E
F#
It was reaching through the clouds
G#

To risk a dream,

the shadow crossed the sky

And it crushed it to the ground,

just like a beast

I seen a woman,
G#m

F#
standing in the snow
E

She was silent as she watched
G#

them take her man

Teardrops burned her cheeks

Verse 5
C#m
The crowds just gathered,
G#m
E
F#
their faces turned away
E
And they queue all day,
F#
G#
C#m
like dragons of dis gust
G#m
E
Older women whis pering
F#
E
Wondering just what these young
F#
G#
C#m
hot-heads want want of us
And Andrei V. he cries,
G#m
E
F#
with eyes that ring like chimes
E
F#
His anti-worlds go go spinning
E

through his head
G#m
E
He burns them in his dreams
F#
For half-awake,
E
F#
G#

they they may as well be dead

he's standing in the rain

For him there's no old man

to walk behind
G#m
E
F#
Devoured by his pain
E
F#
Bewildered by the faces
G#
C#m
who pass him by
G#m
E
He'd like another name,
F#
E
F#
the one he's got's a curse
G#

These people cried
G#m
E
F#
Why can't they understand?
E

His mother called him Ivan,
G#
then she died
C#m
