Intro : C5 E5

C5             E5
Sleep is too quiet
C5                  E5
dreams are too painful
C5              E5      C5                A5  D5
truth is the bed of this ocean of lies.
C5                    E5           C5             E5
Sinking through layers of untouched oblivion
C5                  E5         C5             A5   D5
soaking from spirits but still far too dry.
C5  C#5  E5  D5  B5     C5  C#5  E5  D5  B5
Losing all barbed fences Lucid - no defenses


C5                 E5                C5                     E5
"Where is my mother?" the child asked the soldier.
      C5               E5                   C5         A5  D5
The soldier was watching them both fade away.
C5              E5             C5       E5
Nine words create an oblivion ocean:
C5                 E5           C5         A5  D5
"Dad tell me, will I be dead very long?"
C5  C#5  E5 D5 B5    C5  C#5  E5 D5 B5
Losing all I lived for. Losing all I fought for.


       E5                                C5                        B5                      C5
Oh god if you save them I swear I'll always hold them in my hand!
      C5                                     A5
Oh god if you save them I'd take them west
         B5  B5  B5  B5  E5
we'd start again in the promised land.


          A5                               E5           A5                                       E5
When life is wearing thin we pray: the gods are close at hand when man is
B5                 A5                             E5         A5                                 E5
astray. But when it all is said and done - is he to thank the gods for just
                 B5
taking his son?


C5             E5      C5                  E5
Sleep is too quiet, dreams are too painful
C5            E5            C5        A5  D5
truth is the bed of this ocean of lies.
C5            E5             C5      E5
Words can create an oblivion ocean:
C5               E5          C5          A5  D5
"dad tell me, will I be dead very long?"
C5  C#5  E5 D5 B5  C5  C#5  E5 D5 B5
Losing all I lived for. Losing all I fought for.


      E5                                C5                        B5                       C5
Oh god if you save them I swear I'll always hold them in my hand!
       C5                                    A5
Oh god if you save them I'd take them west
         B5  B5  B5  B5  E5
we'd start again then.


       E5                                C5                        B5                      C5
Oh god if you save them I swear I'll always hold them in my hand!
      C5                                     A5
Oh god if you save them I'd take them west
         B5  B5  B5  B5  E5
we'd start again in the promised land.
