Am Em D (4x)
[Verse 1]
Am Em D Am
When the smoke clears and the truth comes shining through
Em D
I will watch the sparks fly from deadlines overdue
C G C D
And make no mistake now, time will hunt them down
Am Em Dm7
'Til the language of reason runs them to the ground
[Chorus]
Am C F G
And who will raise their voice as the cruel winds blow?
Dm7 Em Dm
And who will call a truce? And who can break our fall?
Am G
Whisper words of reason to those without a song
Am Em D
And who will raise their voice and carry us along?
[Interlude]
Am Em D (2x)
[Verse 2]
Am Em D
And those images are everywhere, like sand in your hair
Am Em D
From the beaches of childhood that slipped through your fingers
C G C D
They're like years of our lives, tormenting and cruel
Am Em Dm7
Will the world look this way again, silent and true?
[Chorus]
Am C F G
And who will raise their voice as the cruel winds blow?
Dm7 Em Dm
And who will call a truce? And who can break our fall?
Am G
Whisper words of reason to those without a song
Am Em D
And who will raise their voice and carry us along?
[Instrumental]
F C F Em Dm F C
Am Dm7 Am
F C F C F Am
[Verse 3]
Em D
So, when the smoke clears and the truth comes shining through
Am Em D
Those prophecies they made will crumble in two
C G C D
Like a dark horse riding, graceful through the night
Am Em Dm7
You're the language of reason, you're the language of life
[Chorus]
Am C F G
And who will raise their voice as the cruel winds blow?
Dm7 Em Dm
And who will call a truce? And who can break our fall?
Am G
Whisper words of reason to those without a song
Am Em D
And who will raise their voice and carry us along?
Am Em D
Who will raise their voice and carry us along?
