[Intro] |C |D |Em | | |C |D |Em | | |C |D |G D/F# |Em | |C |D |Em | | [Verse]
Em             D        C                Em
This land today, shall draw its last breath

Em        D        C           Em
And take into its ancient depths

D                          Em
This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self.

D                             Em
While I, with human-hindered eyes

D                G      D/F#      Em
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life,

C                 D             Em
Stand on this single print of time.
[Chorus]
C        D          G     D/F# Em
  Human wheels spin round and round

C            D               Em
  While the clock keeps the pace.

C        D          G     D/F# Em

  Help the light to my face.
[Instrumental] |C |D |Em | | |C |D |Em | | |C |D |G D/F# |Em | |C |D |Em | | [Verse]
Em           D        C        Em
That time, today, no triumph gains

Em      D        C        Em
At this short success of age.

D                           Em
This pale reflection of its brave and blundering deed

D                        Em
For I, descend from this vault,

D                    G    D/F# Em
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault

C           D             Em
Knowledge, sure, from the seed.
[Chorus]
C        D          G     D/F# Em

  While the clock keeps the pace.

Em             D        C        Em
This land, today, my tears shall taste

Em        D        C     Em
And take into its dark embrace.

D                    Em
This love, who in my beating heart endures,

D                          Em
Assured, by every sun that burns,

D                      G     D/F#     Em
The dust to which this flesh shall return.

D                  G        D/F#     Em
It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God.
[Chorus] C N.C. Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace. Human wheels spin round and round Help the light find my face.
