Verse:
DmDm
We’ve been sown, grown here on the soil
C majorC DmDm
With roots that burrow deep
We’ve been long left, but edges of the coil now
C majorC DmDm
Closer ever creep
DmDm
Elders, tellers, keepers of the bygone
C majorC DmDm
Treasures of the dirt
Brush and string we and scribble and we sing
C majorC DmDm
And dig for the annals of the earth
Chorus:
FF G+G
And we try, try, try
DmDm
To keep a little beauty in the world
FF G+G
All that died, died, died
DmDm
We keep it in our hands

Verse:
DmDm
In their dark clouds, blackening the sun
C majorC DmDm
They came down to the shores
Motors hard, loud, beaten, overcome
C majorC DmDm
No peace here anymore
DmDm
Bridges rigid, wicked are the pillars
C majorC DmDm
Push us till we fall (until we fall)
Prophet’s lies burn craving in their eyes still
C majorC DmDm
Casting a shadow over all
Chorus:
FF G+G
And we try, try, try
DmDm
To keep a little beauty in the world
FF G+G
All that died, died, died
DmDm
We keep it in our hands

we are the fading voice (we are the elders, tellers)

we keep it in our hands
