G                                
There is a cross up yonder up on 
C       G
Calvary Hill
G                              C 
There is a slip of blood on a 
     D
silver knife
           C              G
There is a graveyard kid  Down below
G                          D
Where at night did come to life
    C                     G
And above the stars, they crackle in
 fire
G                         C     D
A dead man's moon throws seven rings
          C                  G
Well, we put our ears to the cold 
grave stones
G                       D
This is the song they'd sing
       C   G
WE AD  ALIVE…
G                                 
And though our bodies lie alone 
   C      D
here in the dark
            C    G                
OUR SPIRITS RISE….    To carry the
                    C
 fire and light the spark
         G                        
To stand shoulder to shoulder and 
D
HEART…    TO HEART …

Let your mind rest easy, sleep 
          G
well my friend

  G                     C        
I awoke last night in a dark and 
G
dreamy deep
From my head to my feet, my body 
           D
gone stone cold
           C              G
There were worms crawling all around
 me
Fingers scratching at an earth black
     Am       D
 and six foot low
    C                      G
And alone in the blackness of my 
grave
                       D
Alone I'd been LEFT TO DIE
       C                    G
Then I heard voices calling all 
around me
The earth rose above me, my eyes 
            D
filled with sky
       C   G
WE AD  ALIVE…
And though our bodies lie alone here
 C  Am  D
 in the dark
                      C  G
OUR SOULS and SPIRITS RISE…
To carry the fire and light the 
C
spark
         G                        
To fight shoulder to shoulder and 
D        C      G
HEART TO HEART…
         C           G
