Where is the peace that they promised we’d find?
G# minorG#m
Peace for our cities our children our minds?
A augmentedA
We are desperate and lost on the winds
C# minorC#m
Of ideals that keep changing their course
G# minorG#m
Utopian dreamers only bring us new wars
A augmentedA
We are desolate at another dead end
(C# minorC#m 
BB)
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
So why does the tide always brings us to this?
BB G# minorG#m
If heaven is real why’s it easy to miss?
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
I want life but I’m content to exist
G# minorG#m 
G#G#
Without knowing my purpose
C# minorC#m
Where are the prophets the priests and the kings
G# minorG#m
Who looked beyond nature for the nature of things?
A augmentedA
They’ve been ignored
C# minorC#m
And called primitive men cause their theories weren’t fully evolved
G# minorG#m
They believed mysteries that science can’t solve
A augmentedA
But I’m unsure that we’re wiser than them
(

We’re fighting the symptoms because we can’t see
G# minorG#m G#G#
Our greed is the cause - (Oh yes, our greed is the cause)
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
We stand as judges when we should be standing on trial
F# minorF#m C# minorC#m BB
We’re the ones who make this world a desolate isle
A augmentedA C# minorC#m G# minorG#m G#G#
We’re the problem – every father every mother every child
But the truth is we’ve grown to love the exile
(C# minorC#m)
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
On this rock we’ve taken our stand
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m
Joined by the leagues of men now buried in sand
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Babylon – we’ll build her again
F# minorF#m
The great city of man
G# minorG#m G#G#
But this time we'll be sure she will stand!
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
But on this rock the castles will fall
(Here comes the light cast to wipe out the walls)
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m G# minorG#m G#G#
We can’t keep the waves of time from reaching the walls
(Oh dear humanity, where is your sanity?)

Every man – the great and the small
(And the women and the children)
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m G# minorG#m G#G#
When the Tide overtakes us Justice will take us all
(Justice will break us, shake us just in time to see our wretched seeds)
