[B2]

By shadowing
all the [G#2]darkened fields
of for[F#]gotten words
and [G#]civilian [F#]lives

Through [B]violence
through the [G#]changing guards
through the [F#]grinding away
and the furious [G#]march[F#]ing

By [B]gathering
the [E]holy [F#]light
and [B]weathering
a [E]cast away [F#]life

and the [C#m]rising fear...

[B2]

The [B]hollowness
of the [G#]flags and gods
that are [F#]raised in the air
in the wake of their [G#]ra[F#]ging...

Your [B]skinny arms
hold a [G#]lantern up
on the [F#]brightest array
of the stars in [G#]their [F#]moorings

and [B]summoning
the [E]holy [F#]light
on their [B]citadels
the [E]blackening [F#]sky

The [C#m]collapsing sun
the burning [F#]wall
that approaches [G#]our eyes...[F#]

[G# F#]

you [B]live again
in the [E]shuddering [F#]light
of these [B]images
this [E]valedic[F#]tion:

you are [G#]running from a rising tide[F#]
you are [B]castaways

The hollowness

Your skinny arms
