If you smile at me I would understand

Everyone does everywhere in the same language

There's just one thing I've got to know
        Cmaj7   Dm          G5    Cmaj7 Dm       G5 Cmaj7 Dm
Can you tell me please, who won?

You must try some of my purple berries

   Take a sister by her hand, lead her far from this barren land

Em                    A         D
Horror grips us as we watch you die

Em                         A         D
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Em                 A        D
Stare as all human feelings die
Cmaj7                         Em Cmaj7
