Dm Am Dm Am A#
Weeds of discontent choke a broken ghost landscape
F A#
Cruel, heartless reign
F A#
Chasing short term gains
F C A#
Right down to the warning signs

No longer trust the sky
F C A#
Drifting out beyond the signals
F A#
Even the horizon is gone
F A#
Weather flees underground
F C Dm Am
Future's left to wallow in fortune's waste
Dm Am
