Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

{Refrain}
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun

/ A9 - / G - / D - / A9 - / 

In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed
Through the thunder I could hear you scream
Solid to the air I breathe
Open-eyed and fast asleep
Falling softly as the rain
No footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fear

/ A9 - / Em4 - / G - / D - / :

{Refrain}

I'm kneeling down with broken prayers
Hearts and bones from days of youth
Restless with an angel's wing
I dig a grave to bury you
No feet to fall, you need no ground
Allowed to glide right through the sun
Released from circles guarded tight
Now we all are chosen ones

{Refrain twice}

{Repeat first verse}

{Refrain}

{As Refrain}
Secure yourself to heaven
     In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed
Hold on tight, the night has come
     Through the thunder I could hear you scream
Fasten up your earthly burdens
     Solid to the air I breathe
You have just begun
     Open-eyed and fast asleep
Secure yourself to heaven
     No feet to fall, you need no ground
Hold on tight, the night has come
     Allowed to glide right through the sun
Fasten up your earthly burdens
     Released from circles guarded tight
You have just begun
     Now we all are chosen ones
Now we all are chosen ones
     Secure yourself to heaven
Allowed to glide right through the sun
     Hold on tight, the night has come
Released from circles guarded tight
     Fasten up your earthly burdens
Now we all are chosen ones
