    C               C/B
One day the knife began to fall
    Am               Gsus4
And as it dropped, I heard it call
   F               C
Oh father, see how I have grown,
    F                G
The bastard fruit of seed you've sown.
C         C/B
Lost my erection
Am        Gsus4
Saw my reflection
       F       C
It was hard to see that face,
   Dm
He said "Welcome home, brother,
            G       
How have you been?"

             C         C/B
We're at the end of an era,
        Am             Gsus4
No more sharpening our arrows,
        F          C
No more praying we never hit
    F                  G
The things that we are shooting at
      C                C/B
We've gone through the valley
      Am               Gsus4
We've borne our burden badly,
    F                     C
But lift up your ears and turn around,
  F           C
I think I can hear a sound.
    Dm
The tune is sweet, the rhythm strong,
  G                             Am         G
A music that could bring us all together again.


    C               C/B
One night I left my lady's side,
  Am                  Gsus4
I felt some change within the tide,
F                C
Pulled a blanket over me,
F              G
Sent my little boat to sea.
C                C/B
I could feel the waves come,
Am           Gsus4
And find the rhythm,
    F               C
The ocean won't let you forget,
Dm
Tide rolls out,
                            G       
But the tide will come back in.

             C         C/B
We're at the end of an era,
        Am             Gsus4
No more sharpening our arrows,
        F          C
No more praying we never hit
    F                  G
The things that we are shooting at.
      C                C/B
We've left our lovers waiting,
Am              Gsus4
Spent our juices masturbating,
F                C
Now I think it's time we start
   F                    C
To build something that has a heart.
    Dm
The air is growing thick with tones
     G                      Am                         G
That just might bring these scattered bones together again.

    C                C/B
One morning, we woke up to find
    Am          Gsus4
The chasm had become so wide
   F               C
Between us and our fathers,
    F                  G
And while we slept the space grew larger.
C                 C/B
I could feel the shadow,
Am                Gsus4
I could hear the echo
     F              C
Of a song I know he used to sing,
Dm
Start to remember 
         G       
how it begins.

             C         C/B
We're at the end of an era,
        Am             Gsus4
No more sharpening our arrows,
        F          C
No more praying we never hit
    F                  G
The things that we are shooting at.
      C                C/B
We've sent our vessels out to sea,
Am                Gsus4
Tied our feathers to the tree,
F                C
Spent the winter on our knees,
F                 C
Looking for these melodies.
    Dm
The songs of a forgotten king
    G                 Am                     G
Who longs to hear his people sing together again.
