Through the dawning age

We go walking together

Toward the yawning grave

G C

Burning days as we make our way

We'll leave our bones in the dust

C G

An untold legend is lighting up

What if I was the last sight you ever saw,

Would you die with a smile on your face

G D C

Well don't even try to say you will,

G D C

Because you'd hardly recognize the sight

G D C

The young are getting old and the summer is cold,

G D C

All the birds have been singing at night

Interlude:

C G

When we're dead and gone,

Will the mountains remember,

Or just carry on

G C

Moving as slow as the forest grows

And turn our bones into dust,

An untold legend is lighting up

When will I reach that light that I'm running to,

When I die, will it turn out forever

There's a fire burning inside of me,

When I die, will I burn out forever

G D C

You don't need to lie, I know it will

G D C

Because the darkness doesn't need the light

G D C

All the young are getting old and the summer is cold,

G D C

And all the birds have been singing at night

G D C

Well, don't even try to save me, friend,

G D C

'Cause I know it ain't worth the fight.

G D C

All the young are getting old and the summer is cold,

G D C

And all the birds have been singing at night.
