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

The soul years for honor, and the flesh the hereafter

DmGDm
Now open your eyes while our plight is repeated

Our souls have been torn, and our bodies forsaken

Bearing sins of the past, for our future is taken
[Chorus type 2]

Yet in one fleeting moment, for anew it doth grow
FC
In the same fleeting moment
Am
Thou must live
F
Die
