Songs: Ohia - Farewell transmission

^AThe whole ^Cplace is dark ^G Every light on this side of the town Suddenly it all went down Now we'll all be brothers of the fossil fire of the sun Now we will all be sisters of the fossil blood of the moon

^ASomeone must have ^Cset 'em up ^G Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam... Now they'll be working in the concrete In the sirens and the silences now All the great set up hearts All at once start to beat

^AAfter tonight^C if you don't want this^G to be A secret out of the past I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it I'll streak his blood across my beak and dust my feathers with his ash I can feel his ghost breathing down my back I will try and know whatever I try I will be gone but not forever I will try and know whatever I try I will be gone but not forever

^AReal truth ab^Cout it is ^G No one gets it right Real truth about it is We're all supposed to try There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross The real truth about it is my kind of life's no better off It's got the maps or if it's lost We will try and know whatever we try We will be gone but not forever Come on let's try and know whatever we try We will be gone but not forever Real truth about it is there ain't no end to the desert I'll cross I've really known it all along

^AMama here comes ^Ammidnight With the ^Gdead moon in its ^Cjaws ^AMust be the ^Ambig star about to ^Gfall ^AMama here comes ^Ammidnight

With the ^Gdead moon in its ^Cjaws ^AMust be the ^Ambig star about to ^Gfall

^ALong dark^Am blu^Ges Will-o'-the-wisp Long dark blues The big star is falling Long dark blues Will-o'-the-wisp The big star is falling
