As I ran down the street all the
                     D
Faces appeared to me one by one
       Em
By the fifth I took a sudden turn

The melting snow revealed the bodies

Buried long ago
        Em
All the violence a man can take

Broken bones, and broken homes

Beneath my feet

In the eyes of elephant

Nothings too big and nothing

It barely cracked the softer shell
