Soil To The Sun

Key: DEasy

DDDD

AmAmAmDC

In the Amdepths of my mind, I laid sleeping

Well, I Amhad such a dream when I Dwoke, I was Cweeping

The Amvision I saw danced around me

And my Amheart saw the things that my Deyes couldn't Csee

Oh, the Amsun crashed down to the Cground D

The Ammoon rose up to the Csky, blood rDed

All the Amdead climbed up out from their Cgraves D

They Amfell to their knees as the Cstars started Dscreaming

"Come Amone, come all, come see and beDlieve in

The Amtruth will shine if you open your Deyes

And you'll Amsee it move as it moves on the Dmasses

The Amweak will rise and give birth to the Dsky"

And give birth to the Amsky

No, it Amdidn't stop there, it consumed me

And it Amcrushed me with joy as its Dbeauty swept Cthrough me

I was Ammoved by the weight of it all

I've been Amtouched by the light, yes, I Dknow what I sCaw

Oh, the Amsun crashed down to the Cground D

The Ammoon rose up to the Csky, blood rDed

All the Amdead climbed up out from their Cgraves D

They Amfell to their knees as the Cstars started Dscreaming

"Come Amone, come all, come see and beDlieve in

The Amtruth will shine if you open your Deyes

And you'll Amsee it move as it moves on the Dmasses

The Amweak will rise and give birth to the Dsky"

And give birth to the Amsky

AmAmD

AmAmAmAmD

AmAm

Am I saw the dreamers dreaming, I heard the people singing

Am The dinosaurs are dying, the mind control's subsiding

Am I saw a new path beaten, free thinkers freely thinking

Am Can't stop a thought from breathing, it moves like fire

The Amsun crashed down to the Cground D

The Ammoon rose up to the Csky, blood rDed

All the Amdead climbed up out from their Cgraves D

They Amfell to their knees as the Cstars started Dscreaming

"Come Amone, come all, come see and beDlieve in

The Amtruth will shine if you open your Deyes

And you'll Amsee it move as it moves on the Dmasses

The Amweak will rise and give birth to the Dsky"

And give birth to the Amsky

Too Late To Say Goodbye

Key: EmMedium

EmOh my precious ember burning Bmy sweet glowing light

CFrom the moment I first saw you BI was yours and you were mine

EmDeep down we both knew you were Btrouble by design

CAnd the echo of my mother's words Bbaby don't you play with fire

EmI was Dalways playing that part

Emfirst love Dalways at that spot

EmThere was Dno way changing my Bmind

Now IB'm under youEmr spell, trapped in Ca lie

Shouldn't have Dstood that close to the Bfire

No turning Emback, no where to Crun

No where to Dhide, it's Btoo late to say goodbye

EmPush back from my heCart, wish we Dgo back to the Bstart

But oh my EmGod is this Creal no more Dtime

it's Btoo late, it's too late to say goodbye

EmI can hear the sounds of sirens Bcircling around

CForced to watch the ashes floating Bsoftly drifting to the ground

EmDeep down we both knew you were Btrouble by design

CAnd the echo of my mother's words Bbaby don't you play with fire

EmI was Dalways playing that part

Emfirst love Dalways at that spot

EmThere was Dno way changing my Bmind

Now IB'm under your Emspell, trapped in a Clie

Shouldn't have Dstood that close to the Bfire

No turning Emback, no where to Crun

No where to Dhide, it's Btoo late to say goodbye

EmPush back from my heCart, wish we Dgo back to the Bstart

But oh my EmGod is this Creal no more Dtime

It's Btoo late, it's too late to say goodbye

CAfter all the Ddust has settled Bwe can settle Cdown

CJust the two of Dus forever Bno one else Caround
