Intro (0:15)
G Verse (0:28)
G The lore of elders passes judgement on this waste
G And finding me or them does lack accepting fate
G And as the moments pass another face arrives
G We watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds Transition (0:55)

Verse (1:08)
G Forbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love
G Of lands untouched and ways to come always maybe

Transition (2:00)
G Verse (2:14)
G Confirming fears that from the dawn of time have been
