Intro: Em  C 

     Em       C     Em          C 
This darkness would eclipse our will 
  Em        C       Em         C 
a cold wind blows across these hills 
  Em       C           Em        C 
a swinging gaze from a hangman's tree 
  Em          C              Em      C 
a crow's nest view of what's left to see 


    D                                        C 
the light that's formed of saints return the silence to the snow 
D                                 C 
still beneath the craters waiting for this time to grow 


   Cm      Am 
so hold on hold tight 
Em   Bm       Cm      Am    Em 
open daylight we will over--come 


 Em        C        Em      C         Em    C 
so put away your fear the morning star will soon appear 
    Em       C      Em        C 
and bring an end to this dark night 
    Em      C               Em       C 
and we must run if we're to meet the light 


Bm                              C    
watered by the blood of martyrs blessed and blind as sons and daughters 
D                  Em       C 
sleep with one eye open and live with both eyes shut 
         Bm                                    C 
so let's find the place where sight begins and see the things that we saw when our 
D                    Em              C 
eyes were bright and wet against the light 
        D                  Em              C 
let our eyes be bright and wet against the light 


    Cm      Am    
and hold on hold tight 
Em   Bm       Cm      Am    Em 
open daylight we will over--come 

Cm   Am        Em       Abm 
open your eyes over the new sight 
Cm      Am       Em 
fly the flags of dawn
