Guitar 2
(palm mute)
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
Ill tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.
(release palm mute)
Before we packed our bags and left all this
behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.

Guitar 2
Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!
(Repeat)
(same as above)
(palm mute)
We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.
(release palm mute)
But weve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
Weve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything youve known.
REPEAT cHORUS
(both guitars)
So open your eyes child, lets be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way.
Keep quiet no longer, well sing through the day,
Of the lives that weve lost, and the lives weve reclaimed.
