| Em         | D          | G          | Am         |
| Em         | D          | Em         | Em*        |

[Verse 1]
       Em    D       G             Am
As the grave took to shadows light
          Em        D             Am       G
while the wandering whispers tell,
Em          D         G           Am
calling for agent who fast asleep
      Em       D           Em       Em*
under castaway stones they fell.

[Verse 2]
    Em   D      G          Am
So, tend to our maiden war
         Em           D               Am       G
as their battle cries seeming to fade,
Em       D              G          Am
favoring swords held by steel edge pressed
       Em              D       Em       Em*
to the knees of king's enemies slain.

[Chorus]
         Em D    D    D    D
From not hi-ding,
       Em           D           Am          Am
taking blood before breath away.
         Em D    D    D    D
From not hi-ding,
          Em         D           Am          Am
all whose fallen set free, now depraved.
              Em         D            G              Am
To the lord's   call for soldiers our enemies looked over,
       Em        D                  Em       Em*
so, in torturous death they'll mourn.
      Em            D            G             Am
As we fight for the dream of our own country's freedom
         Em               D           Em       Em*
from our hillsides to our misty shores.

[Verse 3]
        Em   D        G          Am
Tearing down flags of dying men,
         Em           D                Am       G
claiming land that no   eyes have seen,
    Em          D             G         Am
set in does the rain, guiding rivers to seas,
            Em            D            Em       Em*
turns these battle soaked mountains to green.

[Verse 4]
Em   D     G         Am
Held in by slavery
           Em            D            Am       G
from their mothers their children are torn,
Em                 D            G                Am
grasping for faith   with every last breath they take,
        Em                 D            Em       Em*
turning life to the ground   that we've sworn.

       Em              D            G              Am
