and they wont could let you go

Am F G D

And the people gotta run for the last show

Well there is all we want

To live and die by the sword,

Well they tried to complicate you

But you left it all behind

All the worldly possessions

Are left for recollections

When you're walking with your fear down on the ground

Well there's those who choose to run

Following the setting sun,

Am F G D

And now it seems the journey's has begun
