G [Verse]G Come yonder old stranger the tooth and the daggerG You stagger and then you are savedG Grow fonder the manger in truth and in dangerG Of forgetting mistakes that you've madeC Eyes like mine blinking and endlessly drinkingC Letting the warlords insideG Fall in like mice into fires of iceG In death we find places to hide [Chorus]D All the old heroes are likeC G Children to me nowD As I come to burn your shame awayC G Without knowing exactly how [Verse]G All the old heroes young babies without mothersG Left to die on apocalyptic streetsG And where are these words from who spoke them beforeG Coming down like flashes of heatC I'm never frightened for death I still welcomeC And death I have seen you beforeG I gave you my keys, my windows, my creedsG But soon I will give you much more [Chorus]D All the old heroes are likeC G Children to me nowContinúa después del anuncioD As I come to burn your shame awayC G Without knowing exactly how [Verse]G Love is a fix a suicide wristG Blood with an unending flowG To purify lands soak in the sandsG Of places that we'll never goC Jesus come calling we'll be here and fallingC Praying for your hand to showG Catch us in mercy drink us when thirstyG Each of us falling like snow [Chorus]D All the old heroes are likeC G Children to me nowD As I come to burn your shame awayC G Without knowing exactly how [Verse]G Each one a cathedral the last junkie needleG Stained glass from blood that is oldG And in that cathedral with the angels of nighttimeG Paned in the window so coldC They see through your victims your painful musiciansC Playing the saddest of songsG Nobody singing just a ghost without dreamingG A voice that could right all the wrongs [Chorus]D All the old heroes are likeC G Children to me nowD As I come to burn your shame awayC G Without knowing exactly how [Verse]G Goodbye sweet diamond the sky in the north windG Is falling on lepers and snakesG Hello young mercy both blessed and thirstyG For solutions to so many mistakesC Without your lover your tired wonder The south rain threatens to pourG On skulls like crashing in sunlight baskingG Ignoring the strongest of callsG You cannot save them without their consentG Your voice of mercy to them I have sentG You spoke through me you a good manG Grew up to listen and give me your handC Your voice of mercy so strong and so trueC It comes out in cascades without residueC Of darkness or lies or doubt or untrue/untruthC It's pure like the wind the rain and the youth [Chorus]D All the old heroes are likeC G Children to me nowD As I come to burn your shame awayC G Without knowing exactly how
