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.
