Intro: C | G | F | F }x2 

                  C  G  F
In the far away fires
                       C G  F
Where the hills forever burn
                      Em  Dm
At the feet of our heroes
                Am F/A Am
We try hard to learn
                   C    G F
But the lesson is lost there
                      C G Dm
In the smoke and the mud
                Em              Dm             C      
That we are one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

G | F | C | G | F 

                C G F
I stood by the river
                    C G F
That ran red with shame
                  Em      Dm
I stood in the killing fields
                    Am F/A Am
Where death had no name
                C   G  F
I stood with my brothers
                C G Dm
And away it flood
                Em              Dm             C
And we were one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

G | F | C | G | F 

                    C G F
Then I felt to the ground
                  C   G  F
Tasted ashes on my tongue
                Em      Dm
Thinking that only the dead
              Am F/A Am
Are forever young

G | F | C | G | F 

                        C   G  F
There was peace in the twilight
                  C G F
And for a moment among
                        Em  Dm
It was a world without danger
                Am F/A Am
A world without war
                           C  G  F
And I will take all your suffering
                C  G Dm
It will do any good
                Em              Dm             C   G F
Cause we are one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood
