[F] We'll hoist a hand, [Eb] pick armed upon a troubled sea,
[D] They haste [G] your funeral, cries [C] the Valkyrie.
[F] We'll hoist a hand, [Eb] oh, drown a minstry stormy sea,
[Dm] Here lies [G] a coffin, cries [C] the cemetery, [A] it calls to me.
[Dm] And [Bb] now for nothing quite [C] in vain was hope [G] forever tossed,
[Dm] No thoughts [Bb] explained, no [C] moments gained, no hope forever lost.
[F] In human space, one [Bb] moment's final fall [Gm] from grace,
But [F] how far, [Gm] I'm inside, [C]
lost [F] in I.

[F]
We'll hoist a hand, [Eb] oh, drown a minstry stormy sea,
[D]
Come for [G] a [Em] laughter, cry [C] the humble, you [Db] will surely see.
[Dm]
But still [Bb] for nothing quite [C] in vain was hope [Db] forever tossed,
[Dm]
No [Bb] moments gained, no [C] thoughts explained, no hope forever [Gm] lost.
[F] One moment's space, one [G] moment's [Bb] final fall [Gm] from grace,
But how [F] far, [D] I'm inside, [F] lost in I.
