F/A
F/A The plaza in the village G Where mission bells used to ring F F/A Is now crumbled to a pile of stench and ruin
Even the swallows have vanished
G no longer return in the spring F F/A All the blossoms are buried ,'neath the waste G Out of the shadows grow hatred F Along the corridor crawls fear G Crushed by the promise of hope F/A That never returned Bm/D A# Watched with a hawk's trained eye
[Chorus]
Am Em C G Dm Trees grow silent fruit Am Em C G Dm 'neath a suffering sky F/A Those who have stayed, keep a flame
In memory of the fallen
And pass on the old rites despite the risk
But many more have left here
On mended broken wings
F/A Turning to see your reaction G A tear drop fills your eye F But you protest not to give up as give in F/A Heading straight for the wreckage G Picking up a shovel and a hoe F F/A Start putting back the bricks one by one G Numbers come out of the woodwork F Curious to see the rebirth Bm/D A# Above the swollen clouds
[Chorus]
Am Em C G Dm A strange sound fills the air Am Em C G Dm A silence never heard Am Em C G Dm Falling like blessed rain F/A And the swallows return
