Intro: C  G  F
                    C G F
In the far away fires
                     C      G F
Where the hills forever burn
                       Em Dm
At the feet of our heroes
              Am    F Am
We try hard to learn
                   C      G F
But the lesson is lost there
             C    G  Dm
In the smoke and the mud
         Em                         Dm             C
That we are one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

                  C G F
I stood by the river
                     C G F
That ran red with shame
                  Em         Dm
I stood in the killing fields
                    Am F Am
Where death had no name
              C       G F
I stood with my brothers
                C G Dm
And away it flood
        Em                         Dm          C
And we were one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

G  F  C  G  F

                    C   G F
Then I felt to the ground
                 C      G F
Tasted ashes on my tongue
             Em           Dm
Thinking that only the dead
             Am  F Am
Are forever young


                      C      G F
There was peace in the twilight
                  C  G F
And for a moment among
                  Em       Dm
It was a world without danger
            Am    F Am
A world without war
                        C        G F
And I will take all your suffering
            C     G Dm
It will do any good
           Em                       Dm           C   G  F
Cause we are one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood
