Em      D
A black swan
             Em
Is born that night
          D
The misty pond
                Em     D
(Has) got a new king
(D)       Em
Got a new king
   C
So what can we do

With our lives
            Bm
When it all begins
     C
It's hard and

It's cruel

Will grace die in pain?
     Bm              B
Will light ever rise again?

Em             D         Bm  
I'm trapped in darkness
(Bm)          B          
Still I reach out for the stars
Em            D        Bm
I'm moving in silence
(Bm)       B
I leave it all far behind

CHORUS:
      Em
Oh at dawn
     D           A
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
      Em
Oh at dawn
     D                A
I'll face the edge of thorns
      Em
Oh at dawn
     D           A
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
      Em
Oh at dawn
     D                A
I'll face the edge of thorns

Em           D
Let us march on
       Em              D
To the fields of sacrifice
                C
(I'm) wondering why
Em         D
I'll carry on
Em     D
Will I betray myself
   C    Em
To rise
(Em)
In the silence
             C
It's time to explain
D                   Em     D
Search for truth in lies
(D)    C
Useful lies
D
Needless love's damned

C
What can we do with our lives
            Bm
When it all begins
C
Come follow me

And you will see

How it will be
             Bm           B
When all the pain is gone away

CHORUS
Em           D
Let us march on
               Bm             B
Though there's no hope at our side
Em        D
Let us be brave
          Bm           B
Though by glory we are denied

But
Em
Don't you think
     D
It's time for us
   Bm          C
To bring to an end
     Em       D       Em
Come play the song of death
    Em           D
The wisdom in us both
      
Will make it
Bm      C
Special guaranteed
Em       D       Em
Play the song of death

    C           Am            D
I'm lost in the depths of his eyes
        Bm
I can't flee
      C              Am
Inner pain caused insanity
D             Bm
It's deep within
    C            Am
The fear and the hunger
    D           Bm
Enslaved and denied
      C           Am
By my love and my enemies
D           Bm    Em
I'm the illgotten son

CHORUS
