The Seer he said

Beware the storm that gathers here

Listen to the wise man

I dreamed I saw on a moonlit stair

Am C Bb F Am

Spreading his hands on the multitude there

Am Dm

A man who cried for a love gone stale

Em C Bb

And ice cold hearts of charity bare

I watched as fear took the old men's gaze

Hopes of the young in troubled graves

I see no day, I heard him say

So grey is the face of every mortal

Oh oh children of the land

Quicken to the new life

Take my hand

F C Bb Dm

Ooh, fly and find the new green bough

Return like the white dove

He told of death as a bone white haze

Am C Bb F Am

Taking the lost and the unloved babe

Am Dm

Late too late all the wretches run

These kings of beasts now counting their days

From mother's love is the son estranged

Married his own his precious gain
