VERSE 1
         C                    Em
When you gather like birds of prey,
                D                   Bm
Rejoice what is broken and turning away,
           C                              Em
There's no rest 'cause these wounds won't heal,

I can't let it go, can't let it go.
 
 
VERSE 2
          C                     Em
No matter how deep we're falling, for our calling,
D
Can't look back 'cause it leads me to nowhere,
C                 Em
What is awaiting, I'll embrace it,
D                 Bm                      Em
In the end, all I know, I have to face it.

And save yourself from their collective projection,

Carry on your fire and raise your head,
    C                   G         N.C.
And everything comes to end, when hearts asunder.
