While the sun strikes him down to his knees

  Sketches a wave in the soil
  C/GC/G     G+G    FF
One drop on his dry, dry lips
     G+G   D MajorD      C/GC/G  C/GC/G
Before he goes inflamed and insane

While the moon stems the tide in his heart

  Cast iron and recall
  E minorEm           A augmentedA    Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA Asus2Asus2 A augmentedA
The ore pouring deep in the vein
    C majorC    C majorC    G+G            FF
As the years of searing heat, ?till all is just salt
    E minorEm     D MajorD      C/GC/G  C/GC/G
That is left in the bed where he sleeps

       G+G    D MajorD       A minorAm       C/GC/G
Dreams about swimming,  Though he?s miles from the sea

Dreams about falling,  From the sky through the sea
       G+G    D MajorD      A minorAm     C/GC/G
Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away

 History unheard,   silent like the waves
 C majorC         G+G          D MajorD        C majorC
A augmentedA graveyard for the giants, that was his eye, dry is his heart

While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home
