_ Come _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
over old stranger, let go of your dagger, you stagger and then you are saved.
To wander in danger, a babe in the manger, forgetting mistakes that you've made.
_ [C]
Eyes like mine blinking and endlessly drinking, letting the warlords inside.
_ [G]
Falling like mice into fires of ice, in death we find places to hide.
_ [D] _
_ All the old heroes are [C] like children to me _ now.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ As I come to burn your shame [C]
away, without knowing exactly [G] _
how. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
All the old heroes, young babies without mothers, left to die on apocalyptic streets.
And where are these words from who spoke them before, coming down like flashes of heat?
_ [C]
I'm never frightened for death, I still welcome death, I have seen you before.
I [G]
gave you my keys, my windows, my crates, but soon I will give you much more.
_ [D] _
_ All the old [G] heroes are [C] like children to me now.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ As I come to burn your shame [C]
away, _ without knowing _ [G] exactly how. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Love is a fix, a suicide risk, blood with an unending flow.
It's purified lands and soaking the sands of places that will never go.
_ _ [C]
Jesus come calling, we'll be here and falling, praying for your hand to show.
_ _ [G]
Catch us in mercy, drink us when thirsty, each of us falling like snow.
[D] _
_ All the old [G] heroes are [C] like children to me _ _ _ _ [G]
now. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ As I come to burn your shame [C]
away, _ without knowing _ [G] exactly how. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Each one a cathedral, the last junky needle stained glass from blood that is old.
And in that cathedral with the angels of night time hanged in a window so cold.
[C] They see through your victims, your painful musicians, playing the saddest songs.
[G] But nobody singing, just a ghost without dreaming, a voice that could right all the _ _ [D] wrongs.
_ All the old heroes [G] are like [C] children to me _ _ _ [G] now.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ As I come to burn your [C] shame away, _ without knowing _ [G] exactly how. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Goodbye sweet diamond, the sky in the north wind is falling on leopards and snakes. _
Hello young mercy, but blessed and thirsty for solutions to so many mistakes.
_ [C]
Without your lover, your tired wonder, the south brain threatens to pour.
_ [G] On skulls like crashing and sunlight basking, ignoring the strongest calls. _
You cannot save them without their consent, your voice of mercy to them I have sent. _
Useful grooming, you a good man, grew up to listen and give me your hand.
[C] Your voice of mercy so strong and so true, it comes out and has to end without residue.
Of darkness or lies or doubt or _ untruth, pure like the wind and rain and the [G] _
view. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ All the old heroes are [C] like children to me _ now.
