The Valley

D#      C#          B           G#m
Circle down to the mouth of the valley
D#      C#          B           G#m
Kneel now down at the face, at the gate
D#      C#          B           G#m
As every footfall crumbles so fast beneath me
D#        F#          B           G#m
Under the weight of this eternal shame

[Chorus]
C#                   G#m           B
And to you who've given up in the valley
C#                   G#m           B
And to you who've given all to its wake
C#                   G#m                B
Just another endless night falls around thee
C#                G#m       Bm    B
Just another grey landscape to face

[Verse 2]
D#      C#          B           G#m
I want to step into the armour of another, stronger
D#      C#          B           G#m
I want to look once through the eyes of someone good
Continues after the ad
D#      C#          B           G#m
So I can gather up the names of our mothers
D#        F#          B           G#m
And wash away the shame and lift them to sainthood

[Chorus]
C#                   G#m           B
But if you have given up in the valley
C#                   G#m           B
And if you have given all to its wake
C#                   G#m                B
It's just another endless nightfall around me
C#                   G#m       Bm      B
Just another fucked up thing I can't save

[Bridge]
                  E       D#m           B
But always run forever miles, does it end?
                  E      D#m          B
Then another wall rises in the distance
                  E      D#m              B
Their horizon parts for none, where mothers failed
                  E      D#m
To carry all their weight, I will be brave
     B          A#m
Yes, I will be brave
A#   A#m
You feel them?
A#    F#        A#m
Those who have fallen
G#m             B
Stacked up like stones in a pile
A#   A#m
I feel them
A#    F#        A#m
A tower of failures
G#m             B
So twisted and vile
A#   A#m
You see them there?
A#    F#        A#m
Ancient and seething
G#m             B
Get them out of my way
