Verse 1:
Cm Eb
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
G# Bb
Yesterday's buds are tomorrows flowers
Cm Eb
Those who speak numbers refuse the great forgiver
G# Bb
and powerful men raise their hands and deliver

All the superstitions to which we all cling

While high minds in geneva ponder e8 vs string

The sun hides itself, concealing its grin
G# Bb
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again

Oh, hear our songs

And reign your

innocence on me

white tails graze and wolves devour

Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines
G# Bb
Nicotine babies being born with no spines

The god of the sea is swinging his trident
G# Bb
We stoke our fires with the bones of tryants
Cm Eb
The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din
G# Bb Cm--
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
(Repeat Chorus)
