Verse 1:
BbM7Bbm7       Eb MajorEb      AbAb
Once there were trees full of birds.
BbM7Bbm7    C7C7      F minorFm
Meadowlands vibrant with flowers.
BbM7Bbm7     Eb MajorEb     AbAb      DbDb
Carefree the songs our children once sang
BbM7Bbm7    BdimBdim    C/FC/F C majorC
Gilding our minutes and hours


BbM7Bbm7       Eb MajorEb     AbAb
Clouds came and covered the sun,
   Bb majorBb     C7C7   F minorFm
The breath of the baleful unease
BbM7Bbm7    Eb MajorEb  AbAb        DbDb
Turning to ashes flowers in their fields
Bb majorBb      BdimBdim      Dm11Dm11 C majorC
Silenced the birds in their trees.

Chorus:
F minorFm    BbmBbm   Eb MajorEb    AbAb
Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
DbDb      BbmBbm    Dm11Dm11
Imprisoned in twisting spells
C majorC     F minorFm      BbmBbm     Eb MajorEb     AbAb
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
   DbDb   BbM7Bbm7  Eb MajorEb     C7C7   F minorFm
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?

Verse 2:
BbM7Bbm7      Eb MajorEb      AbAb
Strive till the phantoms are broken,
B7B7       C7C7    F minorFm
Fight till the battle is done;
  BbM7Bbm7     Eb MajorEb      AbAb     DbDb
The squadrons of night, Can't conquer the day
BbM7Bbm7     BdimBdim     Dm11Dm11 C majorC
Nor shadows extinguish the sun.

Chorus 2:
F minorFm     BbmBbm   Eb MajorEb    AbAb
Stories of danger, fearless attack,
DbDb     BbmBbm    Dm11Dm11
Specters of plague and pain.
C majorC      F minorFm      BbmBbm  Eb MajorEb     AbAb
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back
   DbDb    BbM7Bbm7  Eb MajorEb  C7C7   F minorFm
And we'll be haunted again, haunted again.

Bridge:
  F minorFm         BbmBbm   Eb MajorEb
For tho the storms are over and past,
      Eb/C             F minorFm
Though the thunder's rage is quieted at last
BbmBbm              Eb/C    C majorC       F minorFm
Well this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn,
     AbAb
Here to mourn.
  F minorFm        BbmBbm      Eb MajorEb
The night has left us crippled with grief
   C minorCm       F minorFm   F minorFm
As we strive to keep alive our belief,
   BbmBbm               BbmBbm      C majorC
But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn

F minorFm    BbmBbm   Eb MajorEb    AbAb
Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
DbDb      BbmBbm    Dm11Dm11
Imprisoned in twisting spells
C majorC     F minorFm      BbmBbm     Eb MajorEb     AbAb
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
   DbDb   BbM7Bbm7  Eb MajorEb
That we're telling ourselves

C7C7     F minorFm     BbmBbm   Eb MajorEb    AbAb
Telling our Stories of danger, fearless attack,
DbDb     BbmBbm    Dm11Dm11
Specters of plague and pain.
C majorC      F minorFm      BbmBbm  Eb MajorEb     AbAb
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back
   DbDb    BbM7Bbm7   Eb MajorEb  C7C7     F minorFm
Have we been fighting in vain? fighting in vain?
