N.C.
"My father's land
My mother's tongue
Misleading me
So shamelessly
For many years
I misbelieved
The hatred is the path for me."

DmDm      Bb majorBb     A minorAm
Father I have killed many angels
 DmDm        Bb majorBb     A minorAm
I think I will now walk to the sea
 DmDm       Bb majorBb   A minorAm
I hope I will someday forgive me
    DmDm      Bb majorBb    C majorC
Please moor my empty boat on a pier

   G minorGm      Bb majorBb       DmDm     A minorAm
I can blame for the blue blood that runs in my veins
   G minorGm     Bb majorBb           D9D9
But I seem to forget that we are all the same

Verse 1:
DmDm
In your own blaze of hate you’ve spawn a fear in many lives

You’ve taken action thinking it was all said on the signs
G minorGm       Eb MajorEb       G minorGm       Eb MajorEb
  You cannot heal the feeling burning deep inside your spine
G minorGm       Eb MajorEb       G minorGm       Eb MajorEb
  You now collapse, cave in revealing scabby marks of life

Chorus:
C minorCm       Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb       AbAb
  Mother I’ve seen too much, I hate to live my life
C minorCm       Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb       AbAb
  Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)
C minorCm       Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb       G minorGm
  I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind
AbAb
But the pain will remain
  FF
No power to gain

Verse 1:
DmDm      Bb majorBb        DmDm       Bb majorBb
 Now I have time to dwell on, self awareness, dreadful crime
DmDm      Bb majorBb        DmDm        Bb majorBb
 I saw the colors too bright, not knowing that I was blind
G minorGm      Eb MajorEb       G minorGm          Eb MajorEb
 I slayed a man who took a chance and drank the forbidden wine
G minorGm      Eb MajorEb        G minorGm         Eb MajorEb       C minorCm
 The map I draw reveals that I have been complete, machine, in team

Chorus:
      Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb       AbAb
Father I’ve seen too much, I hate to live my life
C minorCm       Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb       AbAb
  Forgot every word you told me, stubborn little child, (angel of your life)
C minorCm       Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb       G minorGm
  I have to find my Eden now, the gates I left behind
AbAb
But the pain will remain
  FF
No power to gain, no

Mother where’s your son

When has this begun?

Who has been the fool?

C minorCm     Eb MajorEb      G minorGm      DmDm
No one was born to be a servant or a slave
    C minorCm     Eb MajorEb      F9F9
Who can tell me the color of the rain?
    C minorCm      Eb MajorEb      G minorGm       DmDm
In the world that we live in, the things said and done
   C minorCm     Eb MajorEb
They can well overrun

The power of one

    C minorCm      Eb MajorEb      G minorGm       DmDm
In the world that we live in, the things said and done
   C minorCm     Eb MajorEb
They can well overrun
       G minorGm
The power of one

  FF      Bb majorBb
To live and let die
  C minorCm      Eb MajorEb
To give hope and take life
  C minorCm       DbDb
Is that what you’re here for?

Bb majorBb AbAb G minorGm F minorFm

  Eb MajorEb        AbAb
To think that you're right
  EbmEbm      DbDb
To make sure it won’t fly

Is a making of a hate crime

BB F minorFm F#F# G minorGm

All colors of rainbow

(fade out, speaking the lyrics below)

“Children of Abel, Children of Cain

Can live in harmony, without shame

The keys that I grant thee, The Sacred Land

Are dry desert sand on the palm of your hand

Without the water, the wisdom of past

Will run through your fingers, forgotten so fast

Thus now when I leave you, I’m truly blind

This blindness, this blessing, the hope of mankind…”
