[N] [E]
And the blue, the gathering storm of base, And the ships, the numerous eyes awake,
Those longs to harm a wretch, To go to wild, to evil, to feast.
[B] Our summer's long, your trails to build, A machine to turn men,
From flesh and blood to steel, Of paper soldiers to bodies on the beach,
From summer sand to armoured dead and [E] grease.
All the laws, your master not shut up, The enemy toast,
Dawning brave winds of these wretched souls, Puking, shaking, fear,
To take the bullet for those who stand them [Bm] here,
The walls are light, the cliffs erupt in flame,
No escape when monsters [B] tread the waves,
Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's sleep,
A choking death, hell's gates,
[E] So, [C] when we go, all [G] defeat,
[D] To [E] the [C] edge of the world,
[G] And we burst with the [D] tide, [E] Of a world [C] where we stand,
[G] With no judge [D] in the sand, [E] Of an hour, [C] still alive,
[G] Of a world [D] of the wild,
[C]
[E] How long, [D] on this lonely state, Do [C] we go [E] living in [D] slow?
[C] [E] [D] On this lonely [E] state, [C] Do we go [Bm] living [A] in slow?
[C] How [Em]
long, [D] on this lonely [E] state, [C] Do we go [E] living in [D] slow?
[C] How [Em] long, on this lonely [E] state, [C] Do we go [Bm] living in [A]
slow?
The rising [E] dead, they say, look tense, Or they are relieved,
The living wait, they're turned, Your numbers up, the bullets dot your name,
Still go on, to hell and back again,
[B] The hell awaits, the killers rise and fall,
The body attuned, like a palm for a sword,
At last they hand, reaches through the veil,
Blood and sand, we will prevail!
[E] So, [C] when we go, all [G] defeat, [D] To the
[E] edge [C] of the world,
[G] And we burst with [D] the tide, [E] Of a world [C] where we stand,
With [G] no judge [D] in the sand, [E] Of an hour, [C] still alive,
Of [G] a world of [D]
the wild,
