[Intro] C Dm G [Verse 1]
      C
These days of wild uncertain times, I ask the empty skies

Dm                                 G
  Who will keep things rolling, who to sing Hosannas to

C
 The temple calls but I can't see what use my prayers will be

    Dm                                G
And will this world keep rolling with only good intentions
[Verse 2]
          C
Still, it fills the eye this line of stone
Incense, icons, coming on strong
Dm                                  E7
  Here comes splendour, hallowed air  and is it wonder or
[Chorus]
Am
  Despair bends my knee
The day's dying flame
                              D7
Motes in its beam glitter and blaze

             F                                      E7
Say isn't it true that it's all through in a single spark

                       Am Dm
Between two eternities
[Verse 3]
     C
I'll watch the moon, kick off my shoes, reach for my old guitar

Dm                        E7
  Fed on milk and honeydew, what things can we undo
[Chorus]
  Am
Desire bends my knee
The dying embers flame
                                D7
Hungry to believe, but just the same

         F
Isn't it true that it's all through

            E7                           Am Dm
In a single spark between two eternities
[Verse 4]
C
Bittersweet the night's embrace, I'm thankful and afraid

   Dm                           G
So pray to keep things rolling, I've only good intentions
[Outro] C Dm G C Dm G C Dm G C Dm G C Dm G C Dm G C Dm G C Dm G C Dm G C
