[Verse 1]
Em G/G When we set out on this journey Em G/G There were no doubts in our minds Em G/G We set our eyes to the distance Em G/G We would find what we would find Em G/G We took courage from our numbers Em G/G What we sought we did not fear G D Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling A D A The shadow would disappear Em G/G But our thoughts kept returning Em G/G To something the boy said as we turned to go G D He said you'll never see our faces again A D A You'll be food for a carrion crow
[Chorus]
G Cmaj7 G Every step we took today Cmaj7 G Our thoughts would always stray Cmaj7 Bb From the wind on the moor so wild C To the words of the captain's child Em G6 Gmaj7 Something the boy said Em G6 Gmaj7 Something the boy said Em G6 Gmaj7 Something the boy said Em G6 Gmaj7 Something the boy said
[Verse 2]
Em G/G In the circles we made with our fires Em G/G We talked of the pale afternoon Em G/G The clouds were like dark riders Em G/G Flying on the face of the moon Em G/G We spoke our fears to the captain Em G/G And asked what his son could know G D For we would never have marched so far A D A To be food for a crow
[Pre-Chorus]
G Cmaj7 G Every step we took today Cmaj7 G Our thoughts would always stray Cmaj7 Bb From the wind on the moor so wild C To the words of the captain's child

[Verse 3]
Em G/G When I awoke this morning Em G/G The sun's eye was red as blood Em G/G The stench of burning corpses Em G/G Faces in the mud Em G/G Am I dead or am I living? Em G/G I'm too afraid to care, I'm too afraid to know Em G/G I'm too afraid to look behind me Em G/G At the feast of the crow
[Pre-Chorus]
G Cmaj7 We spoke our fears to the captain G Cmaj7 And asked what his son could know G Cmaj7 For we would never have marched so far Bb C Em G/G Em To be food food for a crow G/G Em G/G Em Food for a crow G/G Em Food for a crow
[Chorus]
