Ab5                      F#5
I woke from underneath the signs of a plan surreal, 
     Ab5                            F#5
But spoke, Lord, surely I will die with no strength or steel
Ab5                   F#5         E5
But by brass, I will make their towers kneel.

Ab5                 F#5                  E5                      F#5
Sound the horn, and shout in song, and watch each brick obey my call, 
    E5                F#5               E5        F#5         
And know foundations are unmade by sound,       and not by steel.

Ab5           F#5                   E5                   F#5
I know men's hearts are swayed by sound in a singer's strains.
    Ab5           F#5              E5          F#5
But have I faith enough to sing a city to decay?
   Ab5                               F#5
I've tried to move mountains, and they did not obey, 
Ab5                   F#5          E5
But by brass and belief, their towers will be razed.

Ab5                 F#5                  E5                      F#5
Sound the horn, and shout in song, and watch each brick obey my call, 
    E5                F#5               E5        F#5         
And know foundations are unmade by sound,       and not by steel.

Ab5                 F#5                  E5                      F#5
Sound the horn, and shout in song, and watch each brick obey my call, 
    E5                F#5               E5        F#5         
And know foundations are unmade by sound,       these walls fall down.
