Intro: E minorEm C majorC

   E minorEm    C majorC   E minorEm     C majorC
This darkness would eclipse our will
 E minorEm    C majorC    E minorEm     C majorC
a cold wind blows across these hills
 E minorEm    C majorC      E minorEm    C majorC
a swinging gaze from a hangman's tree
 E minorEm     C majorC       E minorEm   C majorC
a crow's nest view of what's left to see

  D MajorD                    C majorC
the light that's formed of saints return the silence to the snow
D MajorD                 C majorC
still beneath the craters waiting for this time to grow


  C minorCm   A minorAm
so hold on hold tight
E minorEm  B minorBm    C minorCm   A minorAm  E minorEm
open daylight we will over--come


 Em(cont)    C majorC    E minorEm   C majorC     E minorEm  C majorC
so put away your fear the morning star will soon appear
  E minorEm    C majorC   E minorEm    C majorC
and bring an end to this dark night
  E minorEm   C majorC        E minorEm    C majorC
and we must run if we're to meet the light


B minorBm               C majorC
watered by the blood of martyrs blessed and blind as sons and daughters
D MajorD         E minorEm    C majorC
sleep with one eye open and live with both eyes shut
     B minorBm                  C majorC
so let's find the place where sight begins and see the things that we saw when our
D MajorD          E minorEm       C majorC
eyes were bright and wet against the light
    D MajorD         E minorEm       C majorC
let our eyes be bright and wet against the light


  C minorCm   A minorAm
and hold on hold tight
E minorEm  B minorBm    C minorCm   A minorAm  E minorEm (pull off/hammer on the D MajorD string)
open daylight we will over--come

C minorCm  A minorAm    E minorEm    AbmAbm
open your eyes over the new sight
C minorCm   A minorAm    E minorEm
fly the flags of dawn
