[Chorus]
Dm C Bb Gm
We're the day birds
Dm C Bb Gm
Deciding to fly against the sky
Dm C Bb Gm
Within our dreams, we all wake up
Dm C Bb Gm
To kiss the ones who are born to die
Dm C Bb Gm
We're the greying herds
Dm C Bb Gm
Hurting each other with our lives
Dm C Bb Gm
Within our dreams, we all wake up
Dm C Bb
To kiss the ones who are born
C Dsus2
Born to die, born to die
Dsus2
[Verse 1]
Dm
The drum fish
C
They beached themselves in Hara-kiri
Bb
The blackbirds
Gm
They fell in thousands from the sky
Dm
Their red wings
C
Streaming down from the higher seas
Bb Gm
Deflected by the grounds, they crowned the sun
[Refrain]
F
They crowned the sun
Dm
They crowned the sun
Bb Gm
But I believe that they are free
Dm
When their time was done
F
They were drowned by the only One
Bb Gm
But I believe that they are free
Dm
Washed by the sun
Dsus2
[Verse 2]
Dm
Our statues
C
The soaring edifice of our times
Bb Gm
Detracted from the ways of the wise
Dm C
The future will view all history as a crime
Bb Gm
So father, tell us when is time to rise
[Refrain]
F
They crowned the sun
Dm
They crowned the sun
Bb Gm
But I believe that they are free
Dm
When their time was done
F
They were drowned by the only One
Bb Gm
But I believe that they are free
