[INTRO] Em C G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C G D/F# {VERSE]
  Em            G/B         C         A
A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door

G          D/F#          Em       
Suddenly I realized what locks are for

G/B     C        A        G      D/F# 
No trusting them anymore, lights are out

Em               G/B C        G
Empty the stare, innocent and unaware

            D/F#    Em             G/B
Dragged out from my home, my lair

   C          G        D/F#
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me
[PRE-CHORUS]
C                           D                  G          C
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again

                          D              G                C
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend

                                         D            Em
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free
[CHORUS]
                          C          G       
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night

              D/F#        Em
Go around and see another side of the tree

C             G                    D/F# Em             
Freedom has a meaning for me, howl with me
[VERSE]
                  G/B C         A
Fear in the dark, I advice you

                               G      D/F#
You can not see the eyes, they grow behind you

Em                G/B      C      A
It's my song they now sing to you

             G      D/F#
You stand no chance

        Em                 G/B     C        G
They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free 

        D/F#    Em
It's my minions versus thee

G/B       C          G         D/F#
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me
[PRE-CHORUS]
C                           D                  G          C
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again

                          D              G                C
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend

                                         D            Em
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free

Go around and see another side of the tree

      C             G                      D/F# Em 
All I want is to be untamed and free, howl and  dream

                             C           G
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night

               D/F#        Em
Run around and see another side of the dream

C             G                         D/F#

  Leave me without a guard and you feel my wrath

A                                             Bm

A                                                  
  I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to

you,     you,    to you
