We Cknew our Gstream would Amlead to a Fbigger Cstream
And Geventually the Amriver, and Fout to the Csea
It never Gseemed like a Ampossi-Fbili-Cty
That we could Ggo beAmyond our Fboundaries
BeCyond my Gmother's CscreamFsG  
  CWe Gjumped over Amfences and we Fcut some Cdown
As the Gstream got Amdeeper and Fwinded aCround
When we Gfinally Ammade it Fto its Cmouth
We Gstood in Amsilence in Fwhat we had Cfound
We were aGfraid to make a CsoundF  G  
(Tempo change and different strumming)
CThere was this wGarning, Amwritten in Fred:
"This is the Cland of the GSenecas, keep Amout!" then BeasFtmaster said:
"We Cshould not do this Gnow, Hawk", "No Amwe should turn aFround"
"No we Cshould not do this Gnow Hawk", "No Amwe should turn aFround"
"Make some Cplans then come Gback and Cattack"
(Back to slower tempo and the first strumming pattern)
  CWe Gwent to Amschool and we Ftold the Cgang
We Gall met Amup the next FSa-tur-Cday
Armed Gto the Amteeth with FBB Cguns, RamGbo knives Amand maFchetes
We Cwere a Gwicked little tCeamF  G  
  CWe Gmarched beAmside the Fnew found Cstream
There Gwere red Ampalm prints Fon the Ctrees
We Gfound their Amclub so FeasiCly
We Gripped up AmeveryFthing
We Cshowed Gno mercCyF  G  
(Tempo change and different strumming)
 CWe painted Glightning boltsAm  
And we Fleft a note to Clet our eneGmies know that this Amwar had beFgun
We said: C"You Ggot no rights Amto Fpost that kind of Csign"
"These woods does Gnot belong to Amyou or anyFone"
"And your Cwarnings Gdon't scare Cus"
"BecauseDm, we move Amsilently
We Ehide in the shadows Amof the trees and Dmwe will Amnot be Eseen
   DmWe can disAmarm the traps, just Eset, set our Amown that you will Dmtrip
Our Amarrows Ewill fly Amstraighter
   DmThese woods does Amnot belong Eto Amanyone, but Dmif it must it Amwill belong to Eus
   DmWe have Amwon this day, Eyou should Amknow our names
We Dmare the AmGladiEatorCs"
  FWe made Gmaps, we gave Cnames to all the Ampaths
  FWe found the Gplace that gave our Clittle town its Amname
FIt looked like a Gcastle but it was Cwhere they made the ceAmment at
To Fus it was Gsuch a magic Cplace
  FWe made a Gtemple out of Cwood and we Amfilled it with the Fbones
That we Gfound in the Cwoods so people Amwould leave us Falone
We were Gyoung, we were Cdumb, we were Amhaving so much Ffun
The new kings Gof the new kingCdom
   AmWe enGjoyed our vicCtory
   AmWe got a Gmessage from CsomeFone named Gypsy
   AmHe said: "Your Gbones do not scare Cme
   AmThis war's not Gover and I Cthink that we should Fmeet
The Amtemple, this GFriday at C3"
  EI woke up early before Fschool and I ran back to the Cspot
It was filled with traps, Gjust like I thought
  EI tore them up and left a Fnote, and said: "Is this some kind of Cjoke?
There's much more to us than Gjust old bones"
And the Ctop of the Gcastle is Fwhere we would meet next
This time the Ctime and the Gplace were Fthings that we picked
We said "No Cweapons", we Gsaid "No Ftricks"
We did the Cbest to hide the Gfact that we were Fjust some little kids
We were Cjust some Glittle Ckids
(Back to slower tempo and the first strumming pattern)
  CI was Gscared when I saw AmhimF  
  CHe looked much Golder and I Amthought that he might Fbe a Vet
  CBeastGmaster climbed the Amwall and Fsaw he had a Crifle hidden Gon a rope Amhanging in the Fpit
I said: "We Csaid no Gweapons" and we called him out on CitF  G  
  CHe didn't Gknow how I could Amknow F  
  CUnGtil he turned aAmroundF  
  CBeastGmaster had Amclimbed up right Fbehind him
  CAnd didn't Gmake a AmsouFnd
And Cwe really Ghad him CnowF  G  
(Tempo change and different strumming)
   DmWe talked fAmor a while Ewith this sCtranger about the Dmnatives of this Amland, our Egangs, and Cnature
   DmWhen we got Amhome again
We Edidn't know what to Cthink of him
But it Dmseemed like the war was Amover and the Gtrees held no more Cdanger
I was Csad to Gsee it Cgo
  FA few days Glater I ran Cin to him Amalone
At the Fplace that used to Gbe his oCld gang's Ambase
  FHe told me Gstories of their Cglory Amdays
Before his Ffriends grew Gup or they Cmoved Amaway
And we Edecided that day that we would Ambuild something new
We would Cbuild it together, it would Grepresent our truce
And as EI got to know him, it goAmt easy to see that Che was just a kid who loved the Gwoods like me
He was a Cfriend, he was Gnot an eneCmy
  CWe made our Genemies our Cfriends
We should have Amnever been Genemies with Cthem
We made our Genemies our AmfrienFds
And our Cgang got Gtwice as Cbig G  C

C G Am F C

We knew our stream would lead to a bigger stream

G Am F C

And eventually the river, and out to the sea

G Am F C

It never seemed like a possi-bili-ty

G Am F

That we could go beyond our boundaries

C G C F G

Beyond my mother's screams

C G Am F C

We jumped over fences and we cut some down

G Am F C

As the stream got deeper and winded around

G Am F C

When we finally made it to its mouth

G Am F C

We stood in silence in what we had found

G C F G

We were afraid to make a sound

(Tempo change and different strumming)

C G Am F

There was this warning, written in red:

C G Am F

"This is the land of the Senecas, keep out!" then Beastmaster said:

C G Am F

"We should not do this now, Hawk", "No we should turn around"

C G Am F

"No we should not do this now Hawk", "No we should turn around"

C G C

"Make some plans then come back and attack"

(Back to slower tempo and the first strumming pattern)

C G Am F C

We went to school and we told the gang

G Am F C

We all met up the next Sa-tur-day

G Am F C G Am F

Armed to the teeth with BB guns, Rambo knives and machetes

C G C F G

We were a wicked little team

C G Am F C

We marched beside the new found stream

G Am F C

There were red palm prints on the trees

G Am F C

We found their club so easily

G Am F

We ripped up everything

C G C F G

We showed no mercy

(Tempo change and different strumming)

C G Am

We painted lightning bolts

F C G Am F

And we left a note to let our enemies know that this war had begun

C G Am F C

We said: "You got no rights to post that kind of sign"

G Am F

"These woods does not belong to you or anyone"

C G C

"And your warnings don't scare us"

Dm Am

"Because, we move silently

E Am Dm Am E

We hide in the shadows of the trees and we will not be seen

Dm Am E Am Dm

We can disarm the traps, just set, set our own that you will trip

Am E Am

Our arrows will fly straighter

Dm Am E Am Dm Am E

These woods does not belong to anyone, but if it must it will belong to us

Dm Am E Am

We have won this day, you should know our names

Dm Am E C

We are the Gladiators"

F G C Am

We made maps, we gave names to all the paths

F G C Am

We found the place that gave our little town its name

F G C Am

It looked like a castle but it was where they made the cement at

F G C

To us it was such a magic place

F G C Am F

We made a temple out of wood and we filled it with the bones

G C Am F

That we found in the woods so people would leave us alone

G C Am F

We were young, we were dumb, we were having so much fun

G C

The new kings of the new kingdom

Am G C

We enjoyed our victory

Am G C F

We got a message from someone named Gypsy

Am G C

He said: "Your bones do not scare me

Am G C F

This war's not over and I think that we should meet

Am G C

The temple, this Friday at 3"

E F C

I woke up early before school and I ran back to the spot

It was filled with traps, just like I thought

E F C

I tore them up and left a note, and said: "Is this some kind of joke?

There's much more to us than just old bones"

C G F

And the top of the castle is where we would meet next

C G F

This time the time and the place were things that we picked

C G F

We said "No weapons", we said "No tricks"

C G F

We did the best to hide the fact that we were just some little kids

C G C

We were just some little kids

(Back to slower tempo and the first strumming pattern)

C G Am F

I was scared when I saw him

C G Am F

He looked much older and I thought that he might be a Vet

C G Am F C G Am F

Beastmaster climbed the wall and saw he had a rifle hidden on a rope hanging in the pit

C G C F G

I said: "We said no weapons" and we called him out on it

C G Am F

He didn't know how I could know

C G Am F

Until he turned around

C G Am F

Beastmaster had climbed up right behind him

C G Am F

And didn't make a sound

C G C F G

And we really had him now

(Tempo change and different strumming)

Dm Am E C Dm Am E C

We talked for a while with this stranger about the natives of this land, our gangs, and nature

Dm Am

When we got home again

E C

We didn't know what to think of him

Dm Am G C

But it seemed like the war was over and the trees held no more danger

C G C

I was sad to see it go

F G C Am

A few days later I ran in to him alone

F G C Am

At the place that used to be his old gang's base

F G C Am

He told me stories of their glory days

F G C Am

Before his friends grew up or they moved away

E Am

And we decided that day that we would build something new

C G

We would build it together, it would represent our truce

E Am C G

And as I got to know him, it got easy to see that he was just a kid who loved the woods like me

C G C

He was a friend, he was not an enemy

C G C

We made our enemies our friends

Am G C

We should have never been enemies with them

G Am F

We made our enemies our friends

C G C G C

And our gang got twice as big
