[A] [B]
[G#m] [C#m] [A] As he walks [C#m] along [A] the [G#m] courtyard's edge, he meets [A] a sense of [F#m] [E] yesteryear.
[C#m] A window [A]
will [C#m] open [A] above [G#m] his head, reveals [A] his home [F#m] amidst the [E] streets.
[D#m] [G#m] Something sounds, the sounds of complaint.
[A] The smell of acid on his gun will faint.
[G#m] As he calls out anger in a blood red band.
[A] Destroyed tomorrow by an
My [E] home!
[A#]
[D#] Is this the way out from the endless sea?
[F#] Or just an entrance to another tree?
[A#] And the light, light, light, light, light [A] dies down, down, [E] down, [B] down, [E] down,
[B]
But [C#m] as [A] the [C#] skylight [A] beckons him [G#m] to leave, he hears [A] a scream [F#m] from [E] a door.
[C#m] With [A]
raging [C#m] water, [A] arrives the [G#m] fall of brother [A] John, who [F#m] cries for [E] help.
[F#] [G#m] The gate is fading now, but it will never [E] rise.
[G#m] [A] But John is struggling, I must decide.
[G#m] Between the freedom I had and the wrath of grace,
I'll [A] stay forever in this forsaken place.
[E] Hey John!
[A#]
He [D#] makes father a river, and the gate is gone.
[F#] Back to the boy where he came from.
And [A#] the light, light, light, light, light [E] dies down, down, [B] down, down,
But he calls [E] for me, he calls for me.
