Lay down, lay down, lay it all down..let your white birds smile

at the ones who stand and frown.

Em         D                   Em              D 
We were so close, there was no room, we bled inside each  
        Em 
other's wounds. 
Em         D               Em                  D 
We all had caught the same disease..and we all sang, the songs  
   Em 
of peace.

So, raise the candles high, cause if you don't, we could stay
