[Intro]
F/A

[Verse]
F/A
The plaza in the village
      G
Where mission bells used to ring
   F                               
Is now crumbled to a pile of stench
     F/A
 and ruin

Even the swallows have vanished
    G
no longer return in the spring
        F                          
All the blossoms are buried ,'neath
     F/A
 the waste

G
Out of the shadows grow hatred
          F
Along the corridor crawls fear
G
Crushed by the promise of hope
             F/A
That never returned
Bm/D           A#
Watched with a hawk's trained eye

[Chorus]
Am    Em   C  G   Dm
Trees grow silent fruit
Am    Em C   G     Dm
'neath a suffering sky

F/A
Those who have stayed, keep a flame
In memory of the fallen
And pass on the old rites despite 
the risk
But many more have left here
On mended broken wings

F/A
Turning to see your reaction
  G
A tear drop fills your eye
    F
But you protest not to give up as 
give in
F/A
Heading straight for the wreckage
G
Picking up a shovel and a hoe
      F                            
Start putting back the bricks one 
  F/A
by one

G
Numbers come out of the woodwork
F
Curious to see the rebirth
Bm/D      A#
Above the swollen clouds

[Chorus]
   Am     Em    C     G   Dm
A strange sound fills the air
  Am Em   C  G  Dm
A silence never heard
Am  Em  C    G       Dm
Falling like blessed rain
F/A
And the swallows return
