With a heart that she'd taken from me

And my chest though it ached, there was hope

A little beacon of light

Though my sunniest days were now stolen away

I still had our son by my side

And as he looked up at me, with those wondering eyes

I just knew that I must protect him with my life

And make a land that is good

And a land that is free

For the better of you and of me

We'll build these walls, with our own fair hands

And I swear on my life, that I'll stay by your side

Through whatever the world has to throw

So I summoned my men to my side

To our past as we started anew

And we swore that we'd keep an unwavering faith

Verse 3
D G D
Oh, the dawn of the day set our country aflame

As the sun rose bloody and true

And we ran with our backs to the moon

To our demise...

From a friend full of lies...

Oh, the break of the day shed it's light
D E Gm
On our hearts left battered and bruised
D Gm G
All the hopes that we'd laid, on the home that we made
D G D
Torn to pieces and left in the blue...
C G
But my friend with an angry cry
D G
Held the weight of our world at his side
D G D G
Took a trembling stand, with an arrow in hand
D
As he muttered a final goodbye...
