Chords

[Verse 1]
            A                  F
When they turn the pages of history

             G                     E
When these days have passed long ago

  A                          F
Will they read of us with sadness

           G                E
For the seeds that we let grow?

  F#         G       G       F#      G     A
We turned our gaze from the castles in the distance

F#          G       G    F#     G          A
Eyes cast down on the path of least resistance
[Chorus]
   G                              A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies

  G                                   A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes

 G                                  A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise

 G                D             A        B        G
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise
[Verse 2]
     A             F               G               E
The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of Truth

 A              F               G             E
Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth

 F#       G    G    F#        G    G     A
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?

 F#       G       F#            G                A
Can't we learn to feel what's right and what's wrong?

 A
What's wrong?
[Chorus]
 G                               A
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies

G                                     A
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes

G                                  A
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise

G                 D             A        B       G
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise
[Outro]
G                                   A
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?

G                                  A   A  B    G  G
Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the Heart?
