Hey, do you know where you're going?

Have you noticed its snowing?

               F    F
Although it is June?

Bbm                         Ab
They said your weakness was showing

Just a little too soon

But under these mountains

the nights and the shadows grow long

The stars up above you feel wrong

This is not your sky?

Pray

In this bed there's another

Asleep at your side

Already has died

Her body recoils

                               Ab
as your hand goes to touch her again

                                  Bbm
She's a temple that won't let you in

At her side you're alone


Bbm C    Db                     Ab    Bbm
On  her back is the same constellation

Confirming your alienation

No, this flesh is not home

This life rose from an eviction

Out of your homeland

Verse 7:

Bbm                Ab
True but it's also addiction

To this soft crucifixion

                    F    F
Under these foreign hands

Chorus 3:

    Fm   Db
And like all Christs before you

                                 Ab
you kneel down beneath the night sky

                           Bbm
To look into your father's eyes

              Ab  F (soft)
And only feel lost


Bbm C Db                      Ab     Bbm
Cru cified to a strange constellation

  Cm              Db  Gb
A new king awaits coronation

                     C/D   Gb
But there will be no great revelation

Your journey is your destination

Discomfort could be your salvation

Here

under the Southern Cross
