Intro:  Gm   Dm  Cm  
GmWe fell in love, Dmwith dust in our lids
CmAnd the pain of a severed soGmul
GmWe lowered our heads Dmand lifted our face
CmPlaced our bodies in celebraGmtion
GmOn the liDmps of a mutCmilated manGm  
GmI carry the bDmones of a deformed CmchildGm  
GmAnd my own polluted brDmeath
DmI speak the old man's wCmords
CmIn a persuasive eloquGmence
GmBless the dust that hidDmes
This unlaCmmented headGm  
DmLook at my face, Dmdo you see God?
DmOn the crest of fire,
DmOur wings are burning
CmHow glorious the Gmpain
DmAnd the ways of God, Dmshriek out of tune
CmAll is lost but Gmhope
DmOn the crest of fire
DmOur wings are burning
CmTo the wind's anthem
GmAll is lost but hope
