AOh, the dragons are gonna Efly toAnight
AThey’re circling low and Einside Atonight
F#mIt’s another Dround in the Alosing fight
C#mOut Ealong the great divide Atonight
AWe are soldiers in an Eancient Awar
Seeking out some half Eremembered Ashore
F#mWe drink our Dfill and still we Athirst for more
C#mAsking if there’s no Eheaven what is this Ahunger for
DOur path is worn our feet Apoorly shod
DWe lift our prayer Aagainst the odds
EAnd fear the silence is the Dvoice of God, Eof God, Aof God
And we cry DHalleluAjah, DHalleluAjah
We cryF#m HalDleAluEjaAh
ASorrow is constant and the Ejoys are Abrief
AThe seasons come and bring no Esweet Arelief
F#mTime is Dbrutal but a Acareless thief
C#mWho takes our Elot but leaves Abehind the grief
DIt is the heart that kills us Ain the end
DJust one more old broken Abone that cannot mend
EAs it was now and ever Dshall be, AAmen, EAmen, AAmen
And we cry DHalleluAjah, DHalleluAjah
We cryF#m HalDleAluEjaAh
ASo there will be no guiding light for Eyou and Ame
AWe are not sailors lost out Eon the Asea
F#mWe were always Dheaded toward Aeternity
C#mHoping Efor a glimpse of AGalilee
DLike falling stars from the AUniverse we are hurled
DDown through the long Aloneliness of the world
EUntil we behold the pain Dbecome TAhe Pearl, EThe Pearl, AThe Pearl
And we cry DHalleluAjah, DHalleluAjah
We cryF#m HalDleAluEjaAh.
