Death Or Glory

G   C  Em  C

[Verse 1]
G                                           C
An old bearded oak of a man in the street yells

   "A storm is coming soon"
 Em                                       C
The weather man says it will never rain again
G
By their own respective philosophies, one of them's just a body
         C
Reading teleprompts in two-piece suits
        Em                                             C        Am
One of them is too strange and splendid for any to comprehend


[Chorus]
G
I feel something's coming for me
C                            Em                          C
Is this death or glory that hangs like lightning in the air?
          G
It's been years of barren skies
    C                    Em                              C
But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare


[Verse 2]
 G
Out there at the edge of town, where the wind whips up
 C
Whispering my name
  Em                                        C
I walk the streets of this withered and wicked land
    G
My shadow darkens the door of a place I ain't been before
 C
But I shamble off in shame
         Em                                               C      Am
Throwing rocks at the rooks with these brittle and broken hands


[Chorus]
G
I feel something's coming for me
C                            Em                          C
Is this death or glory that hangs like lightning in the air?
          G
It's been years of barren skies
    C                    Em                              C     D
But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare


[Bridge]
Am                                       C
I swear I feel the rain in my bones, and I
                                       Em              D
Imagine thunder shattering stones, playing "Crack the Sky"
 Am
I was scared I might be lost in the flood but now
     C                                                   Em      D
I see more than that, I'm just longing for love in this land so dry


[Verse 3]
G
In the dark of the night I woke with a start, and I
C
Stared across the room
Em                                               C
But all I saw was this dream burned across my brain
G
From here to the ocean there was a field of roses, and I
 C
Watched them burst and bloom
 G
I saw them wither and fade but revive
 C
When they felt the rain start to fall


[Chorus]
G
I feel something's coming for me
C                            Em                          C
Is this death or glory that hangs like lightning in the air?
          G
It's been years of barren skies
    C                    Em                              C    G
But I see dark horizons draped like night beyond this glare
