EmKiss a teaCr when tDhe hammerAm falls

CmI can taAste the perfEume on your cBheek

CmThe heat is oveArcome by coEldness--F♯How

CmConsoling wordsA are insEignifiBcant

Say you'll pray

Justify the actions

These are days of the mob-rule, sharp tongue, curfew

When the mind is in solitary confinement--

Makes the mood that breaks you

There's a spirit seeking liberation

Here's a fire with a hungry heart

If I listen maybe, time will tell me

The reasons why we're torn apart

 As theCm yeAarBs gF♯o by

CmDon't make anAy false BpromiseF♯s

(idem)

Say you'll pray

Here the silence is too loud

In a steel barred jail on the other side

We invented the differences

That weaved the web with which we lied

Caught in the middle of a cold war zone

I left my lover in a far-off place

She'll kiss a tear when the hammer's falling

And wipe the darkness from my face

As the years go by

Don't make any false promises

As the years go by

Just say you'll pray
