[Verso 1]


Dm9                     Cmaj7 
    In the meadows I am safe, 
Dm9                       G7 
    In the trees the wind whispers my name, 
Dm9                    Cmaj7 
    In the river I can clear my thoughts, 
Dm9                G7 
    In the wild no one’s lost. 


[Verso 2]


Dm9                      Cmaj7 
    Silver gifted to the chosen ones, 
Dm9                   G7 
    Children taken to keep the fear alive, 
Dm9                 Cmaj7 
    In a systematic way, 
Dm9            G7 
We are born to obey. 



F                         G 
    You can’t control the flame if it’s alive, 
Dm                      G 
    You have to say the names of those who’ve died, 
Dm                        G 
    You can’t control the ghosts and how they fight, 
Dm              G 
    They want a show?

    An army of ghosts,

    The people we have lost, 
Dm9           Cmaj7 
    You can’t control,

People who have nothing left to hold.
