[Verse 1]
    Gm                            F
Be sure to meet your enemies with open eyes
         Eb                            Dm
When you answer drums of war - with a lullaby
      Gm                                  Dm
When battlefields they come alive - you know you cannot hide
    Eb                                Dm
But he who knows your fears - is the man inside
Gm                             F
Walk a beaten track - knock on any door
      Eb                           Dm
There are no glittering prices for you to score
   Gm                               Dm
As if there was an hourglass where time was running out
     Eb                            Dm            F
You hurry seeking shelter from the angry crowd

[Chorus]
    Eb                       F
In silent graveyards - they look for saviors -
    Eb             F
A promised land beyond the prayers
   Eb                 F                       Eb                     F
A land where all the suffering is gone - and nothing will bring you down
           Eb          F             Gm
While the road to desolation lingers on

[Interlude]
Gm Dm Eb Dm

[Verse 2]
Gm                                F
People turn to hatred for what's hard to understand
    Eb                                   Dm
No love for he who's different than the common man
         Gm                     Dm
With the echoes of the ancient bouncing down the aisle
    Eb                               Dm                    F
In dark forgotten corners you found saints - keep crying

[Chorus]
    Eb                       F
In silent graveyards - they look for saviors -
    Eb             F
A promised land beyond the prayers
   Eb                 F                       Eb                     F
A land where all the suffering is gone - and nothing will bring you down
           Eb          F             Gm
While the road to desolation lingers on
