Death Or Glory

G   C  Em  C

[Verse 1]
G                                 
An old bearded oak of a man in the
          C
 street yells

   "A storm is coming soon"
 Em                                
The weather man says it will never 
       C
rain again
G
By their own respective 
philosophies, one of them's just a 
body
         C
Reading teleprompts in two-piece 
suits
        Em                    
One of them is too strange and 
                         C        Am
splendid for any to comprehend


[Chorus]
G
I feel something's coming for me
C                            Em  
Is this death or glory that hangs
                        C
 like lightning in the air?
          G
It's been years of barren skies
    C                    Em       
But I see dark horizons draped 
                       C
like night beyond this glare


[Verse 2]
 G
Out there at the edge of town, where
 the wind whips up
Continues after the ad
 C
Whispering my name
  Em                               
I walk the streets of this withered
         C
 and wicked land
    G
My shadow darkens the door of a 
place I ain't been before
 C
But I shamble off in shame
         Em                     
Throwing rocks at the rooks with 
                          C      Am
these brittle and broken hands


[Chorus]
G
I feel something's coming for me
C                            Em  
Is this death or glory that hangs
                        C
 like lightning in the air?
          G
It's been years of barren skies
    C                    Em       
But I see dark horizons draped 
                       C     D
like night beyond this glare


[Bridge]
Am                                
I swear I feel the rain in my 
       C
bones, and I
Imagine thunder shattering stones, 
    Em              D
playing "Crack the Sky"
 Am
I was scared I might be lost in the 
flood but now
     C                        
I see more than that, I'm just 
                           Em      D
longing for love in this land so dry


[Verse 3]
G
In the dark of the night I woke with
 a start, and I
C
Stared across the room
Em                                
But all I saw was this dream 
               C
burned across my brain
G
From here to the ocean there was a 
field of roses, and I
 C
Watched them burst and bloom
 G
I saw them wither and fade but 
revive
 C
When they felt the rain start to 
fall


[Chorus]
G
I feel something's coming for me
C                            Em  
Is this death or glory that hangs
                        C
 like lightning in the air?
          G
It's been years of barren skies
    C                    Em       
But I see dark horizons draped 
                       C    G
like night beyond this glare
