Intro :
F/A
F/AThe plaza in the village
Where Gmission bells used to ring
Is Fnow crumbled to a pile of stench and F/Aruin
Even the swallows have vanished
no lGonger return in the spring
All the Fblossoms are buried ,'neath the F/Awaste
GOut of the shadows grow hatred
Along the Fcorridor crawls fear
GCrushed by the promise of hope
That never reF/Aturned
Bm/DWatched with a A#hawk's trained eye
[Chorus]
AmTrees Emgrow CsilGent Dmfruit
Am'neathEm a CsuffGering Dmsky
F/AThose who have stayed, keep a flame
In memory of the fallen
And pass on the old rites despite the risk
But many more have left here
On mended broken wings
F/ATurning to see your reaction
A Gtear drop fills your eye
But Fyou protest not to give up as give in
F/AHeading straight for the wreckage
GPicking up a shovel and a hoe
Start Fputting back the bricks one by F/Aone
GNumbers come out of the woodwork
FCurious to see the rebirth
Bm/DAbove the A#swollen clouds
[Chorus]
A sAmtrange Emsound Cfills Gthe Dmair
A AmsilEmence CnevGer Dmheard
AmFallEming Clike Gblessed Dmrain
F/AAnd the swallows return
