   Am                     G       
I close my eyes, tell us why must 
    Am
we suffer
                              G  
Release your hands, for your will 
           Am
drags us under
                              G  
My legs grow tired, tell us where 
           Am
must we wander
        C        G         Em    
How can we carry on, if 
       Am
redemption's beyond us?


[Verse 1]

   Dm                          G  
To all of my children to whom life
         Dm
 flows abundant
                               G   
To all of my children to whom death
                  Am
 hath passed his judgement
     Dm                          
The soul years for honor, and the 
  G            Dm
flesh the hereafter
          F                 C     
Look to those who walked before to
       Am             Dm
 lead those who walk after

[Verse 2]

     Dm                       G   
Now open your eyes while our 
      Dm
plight is repeated
Still deaf to our cries, lost in 
 G             Am
hope we lie defeated
     Dm                          
Our souls have been torn, and our 
  G         Dm
bodies forsaken
         F           C          
Bearing sins of the past, for our 
   Am        Dm
future is taken


[Chorus type 2]

 G             F            C
War born of strife, these trials 
persuade us not
  F    Am    Gm    Am
(Feel what? Learn what?)
 G             F             C
Words without sound, these lies 
betray our thoughts
  F   Am    Gm   Am
(See what? Hear what?)
 G          F          C     
Mired by a plague of doubt, the 
              Dm
Land, she mourns
                        Am      
Judgement binds all we hold to a 
      F
memory of scorn
         Dm         Am        
Tell us why, given life, we are 
            Gm                    G
meant to die, helpless in our cries?

[Verse 3 + Outro]

     Dm                      
Thy life is a riddle, to bear 
   G            Dm
rapture and sorrow
                             G  
To listen, to suffer, to entrust 
          Am
unto tomorrow
    Dm                          
In one fleeting moment, from the 
  G               Dm
Land doth life flow
        F            C            
Yet in one fleeting moment, for 
Am           Dm
anew it doth grow
        F            C
In the same fleeting moment
            Am
Thou must live
 F
Die
     Dm
And know
