(base horm melody goes with those chords)
Verse #1:
I once knew a guy, obsessed with the afterlife
Oh what a terrible
day that
was, he
realized he’d
wasted all his
Time was ticking by, and he’d been left behind
A
nd as the clock ti
ck-tocked h
is heart d
id stop and ev
erything he had was fked
Pre-chorus/Chorus:
And we know not what we d
o (Can you hear
them
call?
)
Will we ever make i
t through?
As
they wa
tch u
s
fall from the sky to the ground
to the sea
Woe is me, w
oe is me, no one will save
you now
We can only look a
way (a
way!), away-way-way
-way-
way
We’ll not be vict
ims there'
ll be no victims o
f to speak
And only then
will we be free
And up will rise
the meek
And when we fall we w
ill
fall together
No one will ca
tch us so we’ll catch ou
rselves
And where we roam
we will
roam forever
No one will un
derstand
what we meant

Verse #2:
The beaten and the bruised, forsaken, the abused
Oh what a glorious day we’l
l have risi
ng up
and claiming all o
ur dues
The day will come as sure as the ever-setting sun
All of those that self-
impo
sed will find the
mselves so indisposed
Pre-chorus/Chorus:
And we know not what we d
o (Can you hear
them
call?
)
Will we ever make i
t through?
As
they wa
tch u
s
fall from the sky to the ground
to the sea
Woe is me, w
oe is me, no one will save
you now
We can only look a

We’ll not be vict

And up will rise
the meek
And when we fall we w
ill
fall together
No one will ca
tch us so we’ll catch ou

And where we roam
we will
roam forever
No one will un
derstand
what we meant
(In place of those brass solo’s i suggest to do the intro again,
i highly doubt you own any brass instruments)

Verse #3:
Now
!
with th
e line drawn in the
Wet
Sand
You need to tell us
where you stand
Sitting, waiting, wa
tching, rotting,
everything they warn
ed us of is true
Now tell me what w
e’re all supposed to do
They’re coming after all of us with e
verything they’ve got
With the fury of a soldie
r who will answer to his God
So how will we fight?
When al
l we have is logic and love on our side
Chorus:
And when we fall w
e wi
ll fall toget
her
No one will ca
tch us so we’ll catch ou
rselves
And where we roam
we will
roam forever
No one will un
derstand
what we meant
