Gm               Dm                    
We fell in love, with dust in our lids 
Cm                          Gm 
And the pain of a severed soul 
Gm                   Dm                  
We lowered our heads and lifted our face 
Cm                          Gm 
Placed our bodies in celebration 
Gm       Dm         Cm        Gm 
On the lips of a mutilated man 
Gm           Dm                 Cm      Gm                
I carry the bones of a deformed child 
Gm                    Dm 
And my own polluted breath 
Dm                     Cm 
I speak the old man's words 
Cm                   Gm 
In a persuasive eloquence 
Gm                     Dm 
Bless the dust that hides 
         Cm           Gm 
This unlamented head 


Dm               Dm               
Look at my face, do you see God? 


Dm                    
On the crest of fire, 
Dm 
Our wings are burning 
Cm               Gm 
How glorious the pain 
Dm                   Dm 
And the ways of God, shriek out of tune 
Cm              Gm 
All is lost but hope 
Dm    
On the crest of fire 
Dm 
Our wings are burning 
Cm 
To the wind's anthem 
Gm 
All is lost but hope
