I G#mwoke from underneath the F#signs of a plan surreal, 
But sG#mpoke, Lord, surely I will die wF#ith no strength or steel
G#mBut by brass, I will mF#ake their tEowers kneel.
G#mSound the horn, and F#shout in song, and wEatch each brick obey my F#mcall, 
And Eknow foundations F#are unmade by souEnd,       F#and not by steel.
G#mI know men's hF#earts are swayed by sEound in a singer's sF#trains.
But G#mhave I faith eF#nough to sing a Ecity to decF#ay?
I'vG#me tried to move mountains, and they F#did not obey, 
G#mBut by brass and belieF#f, their towEers will be razed.
G#mSound the horn, and F#shout in song, and wEatch each brick obey my F#mcall, 
And Eknow foundations F#are unmade by souEnd,       F#and not by steel.
G#mSound the horn, and F#shout in song, and wEatch each brick obey my F#mcall, 
And Eknow foundations F#are unmade by souEnd,       F#these walls fall down.
