Verse 1: 7/8
D
Under hallowed sky

Ghosts are giving way
D
As a crow did fly

Meet me here someday

One from ashes risen
Dm/F
Two from memories served
G
On three we all believe

Blinded by the deafening

Ever-present past

Silent voices carry

Mine won't be the last

Saw myself as you

Didn't seem so different

Now what should we do?

Pick up missing pieces

Mystery once again
