Thrice - Flags of dawn

^Amthis darkness would ^F/Ceclipse our will ^Ama cold wind blows ^F/Cacross these hills ^Ama swinging gaze ^F/Cfrom a hangman's tree ^Ama crow's nest view ^F/Cof what's left to see

^Gthe light that's formed of saints ^Emreturn t^Fhe silence to the snow ^Gstill beneath the craters waiting ^Emfor this ti^Fme to grow

ho^F/Cld tight ^Emopen d^F/Caylight G#/Eb G/D F/C we will over come

so^Am put awa^F/Cy your fear ^Amthe m^F/Corning star ^Amwill ^F/Csoon appear ^Amand b^F/Cring an end ^Amto th^F/Cis dark night ^Amand w^F/Ce must run ^Amif we^F/C're to meet the light

^Emwatered by the blood of martyrs ^Amblessed and blind as sons and daughters ^Gsleep wit^Ch one eye open ^Fand live with both eyes shut so l^Emet's find the place where sight begins ^Amand see the things that we saw when our ^Geyes were br^Cight and ^Fwet against the light

ho^F/Cld tight ^Emopen d^F/Caylight G#/Eb G/D F/C we will over come

^Emover t^F/Che new sight G#/Eb G/D F/C fly the flags of dawn
