    Am         F           G        C  
The rains move eastward in waves of succession  
Am                F              E  
Drawing lines of grey across the sky  
     Am               F         G           C  
With history just as close as a hand on the shoulder  
   Am          F            E  
In hunger and impatience we cry  
    Am             F          G             C  
The battle against corruption rages in each corner  
      Am                F                 E     
There must be something better, something pure  
        Am         F                 G            C  
And the call it is answered from the caves to the cities  
         Am          F           E  
Come the dealers of Salvation on Earth

      Am                 F             G            C  
We've seen the restless children at the head of the columns  
        Am         F               E  
Come to purify the future with the arrogance of youth  
Am             F            G                C             
Nothing is as cruel as the righteousness of innocents  
     Am          F           E  
With automatic weapons and a gospel of the truth

This purity, purity is a lie

Now immaculate conception in sterilised laboratories

How the vanity goes on  
          Am             F                 G          C  
Or in the message of the preacher with his morals and obsessions  
    Am           F          E  
The wars that we wage upon ourselves  
G                   F  
Purity is a virtue, purity is an angel  
Am                            E  
Purity is for madmen to make fools of us all  
   Am                   F           G                C  
So forgive yourself my friend, all this will soon be over  
     Am              F        E  
What happened here tonight is nothing at all

I will always see Brendan at that broken down piano  
     Am               F    E  
His fingers thick and red, shaking on the keys  
Am              F        G            C  
Battered by the years of alcohol and working  
       Am               F               E  
Still playing with the faith that never leaves  
    Am          F               G                C  
So sit us down, buy us a drink, tell us a good story  
Am           F    E  
Sing us a song we know to be true  
  Am            F          G             C  
I don't give a damn that I never will be worthy  
Am           F   E                   Am... etc  
Fear is the only enemy that I still know
