The Peaks

"the peaks" Dm C F so they came one by one , Am A# there was never any warning , Dm C F Am A# bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last , long , Dm C and i saw the whole rise , F Am A# i saw the whole thing fall , down , Dm C F Am A# and all flesh spun , a lattice of it reaching out Dm C F Am A# and im left holding my head , looking down at every grave , Dm C F Am A# and all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave , Dm C F Am A# and ive seen more villages burn than animals born , Dm C F Am A# ive seen more towers come down than children grow up Dm C F cross the peaks , cross the marsh Am A# cross your fingers for the last time , Dm C F and pass out the blame to someone , Am A# and never stepping up , son! Dm C F Am A# nobodys asking; why is your head bent down? so? Dm C F Am A# theres trillions lost , im dreaming of a different time Dm C F Am A# and im left holding my head , looking down at every grave , Dm C F Am A# and all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave , Dm C F Am A# and ive seen more villages burn than animals born , Dm C F Am A# ive seen more towers come down than children grow up Dm C F Am A# and ive seen biomass swarm , back and forth across the globe Dm C F Am A# they try all manner of things just to keep it all afloat , Dm C F Am A# and ive seen more criminals hung than innocents walk , Dm C F Am A# ive seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up Dm C F Am come now , decider , sit down , beside me , A# tell me my world is gone .
