Intro : E , A Verse 1 : E ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest A ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath E of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears A amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years E for ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched A now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs E ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise A of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid pre - Chorus : B A as the ten thousand highways unfold their doors B A for the ten thousand standing on nineveh’s shores E A where the blood of a husband silences wars B E for the girl who rises to meet him and she sings Chorus : A world , i have overcome you E world , i have overcome you B world , i have overcome A E B by my song and the blood of a son Verse 2 : E ten thousand rivers run red like my veins A where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage E for sinew to cling to for wind to remain A in ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days E breathing like a choir of holes in the ground A where the cynical have lain , where the cynical go down E save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned A like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
