[F#] [B]
Oh the [F#] dragons are gonna fly [B] tonight They're circling low [F#] and inside [B]
tonight
[G#m] [E] It's another round [B] in a losing fight [D#m] Out [F#] along the great divide [B] tonight
We are aging soldiers [F#] in an [B] ancient war Seeking out some [F#] half [B]-remembered shore
[G#m] We [E] drink our fill and [B] still we thirst for more [D#m] If [F#] there is no heaven what's this
hunger [B] for?
[E]
Our paths are sworn, [B] our feet are poorly
shod [E] We lift up our [B] prayers against the odds
[F#]
And fearless silence [E] is the voice [B] of God, [F#] of God, [B] of God
And [E] we cry [B] hallelujah, [E] [B] hallelujah [G#m] We cry [E] [B] hallelujah
Sorrow is constant [F#] and the joys [B] all breed The seasons come and bring [F#] no sweet [B] relief
[G#m] Time [E] is brutal [B] but a careless thief [D#m] Who takes [F#] the law and leaves behind [B] the greed
It [E] is the heart that [B] kills us in the end [E] Just one more old [B] looking bone we cannot mend
[F#] As it is there never [E]
shall be [F#] amends Amen, [B] amen
And we [E] cry [B] hallelujah, [E]
hallelujah We [G#m] cry [E] [B] hallelujah
So there'll be no God in life [F#] for you and [B] me
We are not sailors lost [F#] out on [B] the sea [G#m] We were [E] always headed for [B] eternity
Hoping [F#] for a glimpse of [B] gallery
[E] Like foreign stars in the [B]
universe we are earned [E] Down into the long [B] loneliness of the world
[F#] So we behold [E] when pain [B] becomes a pearl, [F#] a pearl, [B] a pearl
And [E] we cry [B] hallelujah, [F#]
[B] hallelujah We [G#m] cry [E] [B] hallelujah
And we [E] cry [B] hallelujah, [E]
[B] hallelujah We [G#m] cry [E] [B] hallelujah
And [E] we cry [B] hallelujah, we cry hallelujah [G#m] We cry [E] [B] hallelujah
