Our Wings Are Burning Chords

(ver. 1)
Virgin Black
Intro: Gm Dm Cm

Gm               Dm                   
We fell in love, with dust in our lids
Cm                          Gm
And the pain of a severed soul
Gm                   Dm                 
We lowered our heads and lifted our face
Cm                          Gm
Placed our bodies in celebration
Gm       Dm         Cm        Gm
On the lips of a mutilated man
Gm           Dm                 Cm      Gm               
I carry the bones of a deformed child
Gm                    Dm
And my own polluted breath
Dm                     Cm
I speak the old man's words
Cm                   Gm
In a persuasive eloquence
Gm                     Dm
Bless the dust that hides
         Cm           Gm
This unlamented head


Dm               Dm              
Look at my face, do you see God?


Dm                   
On the crest of fire,
Dm
Our wings are burning
Cm               Gm
How glorious the pain
Dm                   Dm
And the ways of God, shriek out of tune
Cm              Gm
All is lost but hope
Dm   
On the crest of fire
Dm
Our wings are burning
Cm
To the wind's anthem
Gm
All is lost but hope
