C♯m(B)  G♯ A  C♯m(B)  A G♯  x 4  (3e: \\\ embarque w/ solo)

    C♯m              A             D♯
The brown and orange sky holds its breath
                    E                B
As the sun retreats to the distant horizon
        C♯m         A           B                        F♯
And our hearts palpitate anxiously as we soon will lay supine
             G♯
And wait for sleep to overcome us

C♯m(B)  G♯ A  C♯m(B)  A G♯  x 2

           A                G♯                 C♯m
  And from somewhere in our black subconscious minds when we're asleep
          A                 G♯             C♯m   B
  Comes a haunting swelling mass of voices resonating
              A            G♯              C♯m
  Its screams of forgotten victims and the cries of innocence
          A                              B
  And the desperate plea for recognition   and recompense

    C♯m  E   B  G♯   A             E   A
    Ti   ny  voices, echoes of our heritage
    E   B                              G♯
    Our long and sallow faces turn the other way
    Tiny voices, harbored deep within
    As we outwardly deny that they have something to say

        E              G♯                   A     B
    And if we don't confront them they will never go away

C♯m(B)  G♯ A  C♯m(B)  A G♯  x 2

The billions of tiny pinhole embers fade
Into a morning sky filled with poignant morose wonder
Waking a bear a cosmetic peace that verifies the turmoil
Which we carry deep inside
