[Intro]
Am E Dm E x2
[Verse]
Am
He wakes up in the middle of the night
E
hears sirens all around
Dm
dust in the air and smoke in his lungs
E
there’s rubble on the ground.
Am
No shoes on his feet all the neighbours in the street
E
he looks back towards his home
Dm
and he falls to his knees and screams to the sky
E
cos he knows he’s all alone.
Am
He knew this day was coming
E
his wife begged for them to flee
Dm
but he built this home with his bare hands
E
and he could never leave.
Am E
So for the land he stayed should he have listened to his wife?
Dm E
For the men they came in hundreds and they took away his life.
[Chorus]
A
The land remains forever
E
men will come and go
Dm E
all the fights and lives cut short their stories buried in the stone
Am E
was it worth the horrors or the tragedies before?
Dm E
who will win the land when they hear the drums of war?
Am
will they ever stop and notice?
E
will they ever learn to see?
Dm
The land belongs to no man...
E
for the land is free.
Am E Dm E
[Verse]
A
She wakes up in the middle of the night
E
her heart is beating fast.
Dm
She packs her case to run from this place
E
but there’s not enough food to last.
Am E
She has to stand and fight she tells the kids to hide upstairs
Dm
and she falls to her knees and screams to god
E
and hope he answers all her prayers.
Am
So for the kids she stays
E
should she have borne the pain and strife?
Dm E
For the men they came in hundreds and they took away her life.
[Chorus]
A
The land remains forever
E
men will come and go
Dm E
all the fights and lives cut short their stories buried in the stone
Am E
was it worth the horrors or the tragedies before?
Dm E
who will win the land when they hear the drums of war?
Am
will they ever stop and notice?
E
will they ever learn to see?
Dm
The land belongs to no man...
E
for the land is free.
Am E Dm E
[Verse]
Am
They wake up in the middle of the night
E
hide behind their bedroom door
Dm
they dared to look around
E
but see their parents on the floor.
Am E
The fear became too much for them they both began to cry
Dm
but the masked man must have heard them
E
as he caught them with his eye.
Am
Fight flight or freeze they just fall to their knees
E
beg for mercy for their souls
Dm
but there was no mercy on that day
E
and there they all would fall.
Am
So for the love they stayed
E
no running could suffice.
Dm E
For the men they come in hundreds and they took away their life.
[Chorus]
A
The land remains forever
E
men will come and go
Dm E
all the fights and lives cut short their stories buried in the stone
Am E
was it worth the horrors or the tragedies before?
Dm E
who will win the land when they hear the drums of war?
Am
will they ever stop and notice?
E
will they ever learn to see?
Dm
The land belongs to no man...
E
for the land is free.
Am E Dm E
