Gm                                
The bus pulled up to the prison 
   F          C        Gm
gate waiting to cast the line
Flashpot light cast the night ablaze
     F     C        Gm
 and so it seemed a sign
            F      C         Eb
A sign that wasn't something right
            F         C     Eb   
A sign that something could 
             Gm
ignite out in the night

Gm                                
When the symptoms came together 
  F        C          Gm
and everyone lost their mind
I bound myself forever to number 
      F      C        Eb
seven challenging the divine
              F       C      Gm  
But there was nothing in our 
            F      C   Eb
mind, as if the answer was denied
               F        C          
And there were feelings there that 
Eb              C
no one cared to find

Gm
When the saints were called to jump 
into the heavens
F        C        Gm
We stood back and climbed

Some people stood around with frozen
 stunned expressions
F      C      Eb                
Pieces of the design  cuz there 
    F       C      Eb
was nothing in our eyes
               F       C         
There could be nothing you would 
Eb
find
             F      C       Eb   
There was no answer to what waits
         C
 for you inside

Gm                           
Then tapped out into the ocean 
  F        C        Eb
everyone waits in line
  Gm                            
I thought myself forever the old 
             F     C         Eb
expression, suddenly it was mine
              F        C      Eb 
Cuz there was violence in our 
          F           C   Eb
eyes,   this destruction was 
supplied
          F       C       Eb     
As if the waiting all the time 
       F       C        Eb
had some meaning we could define

CHORUS

      Dm            C     Gm
And I wandered this world looking 
for answers
  Dm            C        Gm
I wandered this world in time
  Dm            C     Gm         
I wandered this world looking for
              Dm     C      Gm
 answers that I just didn't find

Gm                           F   
Went down south out to ocean 
   C                 Eb
braced ourselves for the fight
Gm                                
Something proud drew from emotion 
   F          C       Eb
as waves took hold of life
          F       C       Eb 
They were waiting all the time, 
             F      C       Eb
there was nobody left in line
            F       C    Eb   
And in this feeling we'd arrived 
     F        C        Eb
beyond the waste of time
  F        C         Eb      Gm 
Beyond the oath that binds 
         F       C
Beyond what's left to find
