A Dm/A
Early morn I was up long before dawn
A Dm/A
I watched you sleep, I counted every beat of your heart
A Dm/A A
Now we both know we'll never go back there again
Dm/A
Guilty as charged that's all
Dm C Gsus
Fallen snow - cover me
G Dm
Wash me pure - Hold me tight
C Gsus G
What else is there left for you and for me?
Bb Bb(b5) C Csus A7sus D
The life we once held on to caught in a riptide out to sea
D Bb C
I left with innocent eyes to a nation so poor
I felt humanity cry from the ravage of war
I infiltrated the machine and it broke me in two
I wish for amnesty now and I find it in you
Gm9 Asus Bb C
I make this vow

The road to this place under a thundering sky

Just look around wind and snow and ice are all I see

Save for you my queen

Pounding rhythms

Distant footsteps

Echo fear, And drive my pain
C G F C
I am crying out for love and for life eternal

I am witness

I've been purchased with blood

So many souls will burn out
C A7sus
The call requires an answer
D Bb C
I've chased material gain it's the emptiest dream
I've watched it turn back to dust and it don't mean a thing
The spirit found its way in and it changed my whole life
I'm off-er-ing you my hope with the gift of this light
