“the peaks”
Dm C F
so they came one by one ,
Am A#
there was never any warning ,
Dm C F Am A#
bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last , long ,
Dm C
and i saw the whole rise ,
F Am A#
i saw the whole thing fall , down ,
Dm C F Am A#
and all flesh spun , a lattice of it reaching out
Dm C F Am A#
and im left holding my head , looking down at every grave ,
Dm C F Am A#
and all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave ,
Dm C F Am A#
and ive seen more villages burn than animals born ,
Dm C F Am A#
ive seen more towers come down than children grow up
Dm C F
cross the peaks , cross the marsh
Am A#
cross your fingers for the last time ,
Dm C F
and pass out the blame to someone ,
Am A#
and never stepping up , son!
Dm C F Am A#
nobodys asking; why is your head bent down? so?
Dm C F Am A#
theres trillions lost , im dreaming of a different time
Dm C F Am A#
and im left holding my head , looking down at every grave ,
Dm C F Am A#
and all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave ,
Dm C F Am A#
and ive seen more villages burn than animals born ,
Dm C F Am A#
ive seen more towers come down than children grow up
Dm C F Am A#
and ive seen biomass swarm , back and forth across the globe
Dm C F Am A#
they try all manner of things just to keep it all afloat ,
Dm C F Am A#
and ive seen more criminals hung than innocents walk ,
Dm C F Am A#
ive seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up
Dm C F Am
come now , decider , sit down , beside me ,
A#
tell me my world is gone .
