G (C)
Dig down deep don't fold
GD
For the faintest wind might blow
EmGEmG
You're off your mark, off your game
EmG
Soil your old man's good name
G (C)
Hoist your head, don't weep.
GD
For a terrible storm might sweep
EmGEmG
You're out to sea, that big, black sea
EmG
We'll lay you down to sleep
EmG
And the soldiers circle round and round
EmG
And the trumpeter's horn blows a deafening sound
D
You plant your feet, you stand your ground
D
While the bricks you lay
D
They come crumbling down
GEmC
From head to toe
GEmC
Covered up in dust like Jericho
GEmC
When you shed your skin down to your bones
D
You know a house don't make a home
D
When you build it all alone, no, no
DG
That's just a hollow skeleton of sticks and stones
G (C)
Left, right, left, we'll march
GD
To the pounding beat of our hearts
EmG
And the battle will rattle the earth
EmG
Down to its core
EmG
Do you forget just what we're fighting for?
G (C)
And the sun will rise in the east
GD
And the crimson'll stream at your feet
EmG
We'll come and recede
EmG
We'll bathe in stain
EmG
And by the grace of God we can start again
