Where are you, [G] my father?
_ [A] _
Give wisdom to [D] your son. _ _
[Am] As his dreams begin to fail, [Em] he saw a shining [Am] _ _ lake.
[Em] The _ _

[Em] As he rushed [Bm] to quench this [Em] thirst, a [F#] fountain spring [B] appeared before him.
And as [Em] his heated breath [Bm] rushed through the cool mist, [Em] a quick [B] voice called,
Son of God, drink from [Em] our [Am] spring.
_ _ [D] _ [Em] _ The water [Am] tasted strangely [Em] sweet.
Behind him the [Am] voice called again.
[Em] He turned his head [Bm] and a glow from his [Em] talon.
As he gazed to rise, the [F#] filth of darkness of the [Em] lake.
[D] _ We have [G] evolved.
_ [A] And he had no choice [D] but to be swung.

As [C#] we come descending [D#m] from [D] the sky, _
_ _ [C#] a _ _ _ _

him on [Bm] _ faith.
[A] _ We [G] have evolved.
_ [A] The creature crawled into the [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
