Lyrics

If blood will (Em7)flow

when flesh and (Am7)steel are one,

(B7)dry ing in the co lour of the (Em)eve ning sun.

To mor row’s (Em7)rain

will wash the (Am7)stains a way,

but (B7)some thing in our minds will al ways (Em)stay.

Per (Em7)haps this fi nal act was meant to (Am7)clinch a life time’s ar gu ment that (B7)no thing comes from vi o lence and (Em)no thing ev er could.

For (Em7)all those born be neath an an gry (Am7)star,

lest (B7)we for get how fra gile we are.

(Am)On and on the (Baug)rain will fall like (Em)tears from a star,

like tears from a star.

(Am)On and on the (Baug)rain will say how (Em)fra gile we are,

how fra gile we are.

(Em)fra gile we are,

how fra gile we are,

how fra gile we are.
