[Bm]
But all the [A] clarity [Bm] in me Sky so blue, [A] the west [Bm] so green
The red can find [A]
[B] David's [Bm] doom [G]
Deep and strong, [A] [E] straight [A] and true
[Bm]
The blue line, [A] they caught the [Bm] demons The belts and books [A] marched forward [Bm] in time
The wooden lid up, [A]
[Bm] club and shield Sweat [Em] like a wave, [A] it paused the battlefield
[Bm]
But all the [A] clarity in [Bm] me The blood so red,
[A] the grass [Bm] so green
The gleam of sperm,
[A] chest [Bm] not fraying The [Em] cavalry [A] that crows to mourn the rain
[Bm]
For the iron will [A] and the [Bm] iron hand In the eagles' [A] green, [Bm] there's a land
No music for [A] the shameful [Bm] scene But
[Em] all the clarity [A]
in me
[F#m] [Bm] The past we've seen [A] and all we've [B] fought [Bm]
Once in our [A] Asia
[Bm] Same old fears and [A] the same [Bm] old pride [Em]
We never change, [A] [F#m] same old lies
[Bm] [D#]
[A] [N]
