our souls to meet it’s end

we will share it with you
D Bm C
no man owns this earth we’re on

Em Gm

Dm
now the wheels are rolling
A# Em
hear the howling winds of war
Bm
it’s my destiny to fight and die
C
but is there no solution
D Bm C Em
can we find no other way , lord , let me stay

D Dsus2
under the endless sky
D Dsus2
and the earth below
F#7 Bm F#m
here i was born to live
Dm Am A# C
and i will never go , oh no

but we cannot endure
Dm G
like the earth and the mountains
Dm C
life is not ours to keep
Dm G
for a new sun is rising
