I haul you in, a sea of silence,
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
On the border - line of truth, hope, and violence,
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
I see no sun, I see no place I've loved,
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
De - pending on------ the signs to find the road!
G Gsus5 Gsus4 G G Gsus5 Gsus4
Black - water, take me with you,
G Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
To the place that... I have spoken,
G Gsus5 Gsus4 G G Gsus5 Gsus4
Come and lead me... ...through the darkness,
G Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Gsus4 G
To the light that... I long to see a - gain!
