Progression:
G A A G A A G A A G A A B C#
Repeat this 8 times:
{x00231} {x02220}
Dm/A A
With verse: {x33211} {x30210}
F/C C
Sisters by the wayside bide their time in quiet peace,
await their place within the ring of calm.
Dm/A A
Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
await the call they know may never come.
F/C C
In times of lightness no intruder dared upon
to jeopardize the course, upset the run.
Dm/A A
All was joy and hands were raised towards the sun,
as love in halls of plenty overrun.
{xx0233} {xx0232}
Dsus4 D
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Then 4 times in the same pattern:
{113331} {133211}
Bb/F F
4 times:
Dm/A A
F/C C
Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
unending dances shadowed on the day.
Dm/A A
Within the wall their dauting formless keep,
preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
F/C C
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
just turn a coin, bring order to the fray.
Dm/A A
And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
but no-one seemed to question anyway.
Dsus4 D
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
4 times:
Bb/F F
Then the keyboard does a little roll which kinda goes like this:
|: A~ F G :| {Play it four times}
F/C C
How keen the soaring hunter's eye prevails upon the land,
to seek the unsuspecting and the weak.
Dm/A A
And powerless the fabled sat, too slow to lift a hand,
toward the foe that threatened them from the deep.
F/C C
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand,
adrift upon the sea of futile speech?
Dm/A A
Wha??
Dsus4 D
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
4 times:
Bb/F F
Then the keyboard does that little roll again:
|: A~ F G :| {Play it four times}
The keyboard does another thing but I'll list the chords here:
|: F G Em :| {Play it three times}
|: A~ F G :| {two times}
|: F G Em :| {Play it three times}
|: A~ F G :| {two times}
|: F G Em :| {Play it three times}
