 Everybody wants to be in at the kill

So I watch and I wait and I pray for an answer

An end to the strife and the world's misery

        Em         G
But the end never came

And we're digging the graves

And we're loading the guns for the kill

        Em         G
Can the end be at hand?

        C           D           Am       C         D
Is the face in the sand future memory of our tragedy?

Can the end be at hand?

Is the face in the sand future memory of our tragedy?
