[Verse 1]
Dm                     C
When your brother, the wind, turns against you
Gm                    Am
And the rising storm roils the waves
Dm                C           A#maj7
When the mountain blue on the distant shore
                    Am
Is deemed by raging waters, your horizon is lost
Dm                    C                   Gm
When your sister, the wind, turns against you
                  Am
And the trees are torn from their roots
Dm               C
When the ancient oaks of the forest
Gm                 Am
Come crashing down to the ground

[Chorus 1]
Em        D                      Cmaj7   C
 But when darkness prevails, all hope is lost
Am                     Em
And emptiness conquers all
         D
Dims the fire in your heart
    C                      Am
The dead will come to your aid
        Gm         C     D
And the wise shall stand by your side

[Verse 2]
         Dm               C
When you turn against yourself
Gm                           Am
 You will bury each hope and dream
Dm                          C
 All blessings will turn to curses
                    Gm
As the fire in your heart
                  Am
It flickers, soon to go out

[Chorus 1]
Em        D                      Cmaj7   C
 But when darkness prevails, all hope is lost
Am                     Em
And emptiness conquers all
         D
Dims the fire in your heart
    C                      Am
The dead will come to your aid
        Gm         C     D
And the wise shall stand by your side

They are your tribe and your nation
                                   Gmaj7

Amassed their ancient wisdom

And will usher you into tomorrow

[Verse 3]
Dm                      C
You'll see the mountain blue
C
Glimmering in the distance
Gm           Am
 Waiting for you
Dm
It's looking at you
C
 It sees your life
Gm
 It's looking at you
Am

It knows your death

Em      D
See the horizon is clearing

The acorn takes root and grows

The curses turn to blessings

Light a fire in your heart
