[Am] The fire has carved this mountain [D] like a landscape on the moon, _ _ _ _ trees barren, black, and baking
_ in the scorching afternoon.
[E] _ _
I search for signs of life, _ but I cannot see a thing. _

_ [Am] Temple bell [A] comes ringing down the [G] valley through the _ trees.
_ _ [A] _
Singing on [E] the _ Tarzan [Am] of Greece. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ Men [A] and women chanting _ _ [G] in the breaking _ dawn.

_ _ Where the [F#] stones [C#] shine [F#] like _ amber in [D] the dew. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] The sky is so [E] vast, _ [D] we are _ falling _ [C#m] forever, [A] _

_ [E] _ dissolving into [D] the blue. _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] No more you, _ no [E] more I, _ only [D] rock, wind, and [C#m] sky.
_ [F#m] No more faith, no [C#m] more hope, no [D] more fear. _
_ _ And _ [F#m] the waves crash [E] the sand _ like [D] a carnival marching [C#m] _ band. _
