G

Must it take a life for hateful eyes

Em

To glisten once again

C

Five hundred years like Gelignite

Em D

Have blown us all to hell

What savior rests while on his cross we die

Forgotten freedom burns

Has the Shepard led his lambs astray

Em D

To the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes

C D

To glisten once again

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

Intro

G

I watch and stare as Rosin's eyes

Em

Turn a darker shade of red

C

And the bullet with this sniper lie

Em D

In their bloody gutless cell

G

Must we starve on crumbs from long ago

Em

Through these bars of men made steel

C

Is it a great or little thing we fought

Em D

Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Ah, but maybe it's the way we're taught

C D G

Or maybe it's the way we fought

C D G C

But a smile never grins without tears to begin

D G

For each kiss is a cry we all lost

C G

Though nothing is left to gain

C D

But for the banshee that stole the grave

G C Em

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess

G

I sit in and dwell on faces past

Em

Like memories seem to fade

C

No color left but black and white

Em D

And soon will all turn gray

G

But may these shadows rise to walk again

Em

With lessons truly learnt

C

When the blossom flowers in each our hearts

Em D

Shall beat a new found flame
