"The Peaks"

Dm         C           F
   So they came one by one,
          Am        Bb
There was never any warning,
Dm            C         F          Am            Bb
Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long,
    Dm         C
And I saw the whole rise,
F         Am          Bb
I saw the whole thing fall, down,
    Dm         C       F         Am           Bb
And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out

    Dm        C          F             Am            Bb
And Im left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
    Dm      C     F            Am          Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
        Dm         C       F          Am      Bb
And Ive seen more villages burn than animals born,
    Dm        C            F         Am           Bb
Ive seen more towers come down than children grow up


Dm           C                F
   Cross the peaks, cross the marsh
            Am             Bb
Cross your fingers for the last time,
    Dm            C        F
And pass out the blame to someone,
     Am                Bb
And never stepping up, son!
Dm       C       F            Am       Bb 
Nobodys asking; Why is your head bent down? So?
         Dm        C       F             Am           Bb
There?s trillions lost, Im dreaming of a different time


   Dm        C          F             Am            Bb
And Im left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
    Dm      C     F            Am          Bb
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
        Dm         C       F          Am      Bb
And Ive seen more villages burn than animals born,
    Dm        C            F         Am           Bb
Ive seen more towers come down than children grow up

    Dm         C       F              Am                Bb
And Ive seen biomass swarm, back and forth across the globe
     Dm      C         F              Am            Bb
They try all manner of things just to keep it all afloat,
         Dm         C         F        Am         Bb
And Ive seen more criminals hung than innocents walk,
      Dm        C           F          Am           Bb
Ive seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up


Dm          C       F          Am
Come now, decider, sit down, beside me,
Bb
Tell me my world is gone.
