Dm9                     Cmaj7 
    In the meadows I am safe, 
Dm9                       G7 
    In the trees the wind whispers my name, 
Dm9                    Cmaj7 
    In the river I can clear my thoughts, 
Dm9                G7 
    In the wild no one’s lost. 



Dm9                      Cmaj7 
    Silver gifted to the chosen ones, 
Dm9                   G7 
    Children taken to keep the fear alive, 
Dm9                 Cmaj7 
    In a systematic way, 
Dm9            G7 
We are born to obey.

    You can’t control the flame if it’s alive, 
Dm                      G 
    You have to say the names of those who’ve died, 
Dm                        G 
    You can’t control the ghosts and how they fight, 
Dm              G 
    They want a show?

We’ll burn the curtains down, 
      Bb     G 
(They want a show) 



Dm9            Cmaj7 
    An army of ghosts, 
Dm9            G7 
    The people we have lost, 
Dm9           Cmaj7 
    You can’t control,

People who have nothing left to hold.
