Tears by the firelight, he won't be home tonight

The Royal order reached him now to fight for the land
A minorAm       E MajorE    C majorC      G+G
Eyes at the window-pane, staring through pouring rain

She waits for the one to return

Almost a year has gone, the battles are raging on

Sparks of hope begin to glow, the end of the war
A minorAm      E MajorE            C majorC      G+G
Church-bells proclaim the peace, they welcome the returnees
DmDm       C majorC     G+G          A minorAm
"The victory is ours!" but she thinks, "What's mine?"

Words black as grave's ground, seals red as blood
    A minorAm  C majorC G+G      A minorAm
By the light, life's found an end
         G+G      FF
