N.C.
Quiet the drone in the distance approaches

N.C.
We hide, and hope they pass us by

N.C.
Waiting in silence, praying they don't find us

N.C.
And maybe they'll spare us our lives


N.C.
Just maybe they'll spare us our lives


N.C.
Desolate village of sorrow and anguish

N.C.
I stare upon what once was home

N.C.
Explosions and flashes leave embers and ashes

N.C.
And now I've got nowhere to go


N.C.
And now we've got nowhere to go

Em Em C D (same as chorus)

Verse 1:


Am          C           G             Am
Now, as the fire rains down from the sky

Am          C           G             Am
I see the love disappear from her eyes

Am          C            G             Am
I've seen the hearts of our people all change like the wind

     C           G        Am
A helping hand, I cannot find

Pre-Chorus:


      C
Hold on

             G                 F
We'll find a place to call our home

      Am             C
Nevermore, will you cry

         G                 D
Together we'll live on alone

Chorus:


Em
Life or death

We will not live forever

C
Or did you forget

C   D    Em
Selflessness bereft You looked the other way

   C                 D
As we are left for dead

Verse 2:


Am           C            G        Am
Gone are the tears of the innocent child

Am              C               G          Am
Each day you're cursed watching her fading smile

Am          C             G
You must be brave little sister

     Am                  C          G             Am
I'll swallow my pride, whatever it takes to survive

Pre-Chorus 2:


        C
Be strong

        G                    F
The fireflies will light the way

       Am         C
Never stop, carry on

             G            D
You are the life in me today

Chorus:


Em
Life or death

We will not live forever

C
Or did you forget

C   D    Em
Selflessness bereft You looked the other way

   C                  D
As we are left for dead


D  G   Em
As the raid begins

                               C          D
The blackened rain turns red a beautiful display of hatred

Em
Nothing left

                               C                D   Em
Beneath the flames of where my love was laid to rest

Bridge:

N.C.
Sleep, little one all your nightmares are gone

N.C.
Rest in piece, and be free of your pain

N.C.
For you I will fight one more day


N.C.
Echoes of your voice repeatedly tormenting

N.C.
Reminds me of my mistakes

N.C.
How do I live with myself

N.C.
My conscious says I sent you to an early grave

N.C.
Have I sent you to an early grave

Outro:

(X2)

Em         C
Mother and father

     G         D
Will dry your eyes

Em           C
Now that you sleep with

    G    G/Gb
The fireflies

Em  C  G  G/Gb x4
