[E]
[D] Night comes,
[Bm] the mass [G] resolves into [Bm] round bits of silver on [B] the table
[A] Round [G]
arrow knocked against the [A] bowl,
[B] round fruit [F#] devoured by [Em] time
[A] While the moon [Em] climbs,
[G] [D]
[E]
seas [D] swell
[Bm]
Illusion's queen in the shallow graves of experience [B] time-centered
[Bm]
Grave silence reigns over [A] the stars,
[Bm] grave an [G] image hanging [A] in time
While the earth [Em] unwinds
[D] With rain the world grows [A] older, Lord let us [D] not be [A] lost
[G] God bless the children [A]
with [D] knowledge of the cause
[G] [D]
[Em]
Day [D] comes,
[G]
the hawk of gold springs forth in flame from a highway [B] paved with diamond
Lion [A] [Em] [G]
rampant on a green [A] field,
[Bm] ramparts cracked into the sky [A] while the [B] Christ stands [G] by
[E] [D] With pain the world paves us [A] over, Lord let us not betray
[A] [G] God bless the children with visions [D] of the day
[D] With pain the world paves us [A] over, Lord let us not betray
