Verse 1:
Into the land of the living black bleeds orange into blue
I am coming to life; light is breaking through
I can hear the bells in the city across the ancient shore
I am ready to fight; let down the scarlet cord

Pre-Chorus 1:
It’s time to shed this mas[B/D#]querade

Chorus:
You cannot love in moderation
You’re dancing with a dead man’s bones
Lay your soul on the threshing floor

Interlude:
| E | E6 | B/E | E |

Verse 2:
Between the wall of the river shoulders bare the sacred stones
We made it alive; we are not alone

Pre-Chorus 2:
Kiss the ground and cha[B/D#]nge your name

Chorus 2:
You cannot love in moderation
You’re dancing with a dead man’s bones
Lay your soul on the threshing floor

Interlude 2:
| E | E6 | B/E | E |

Bridge:
I heard the distant battle drum
The mockingbird spoke in tongues
[B/D#]Longing for the day to come
I set my face, forsook my fears
I saw the city through my tears
The darkness soon will disappear
And be swallowed by the sun

Ending:
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home [B/E]

Chorus 1:
You said ‘I love her’, You said we’d last
So I’ll walk on water, hold steady, hold fast

Verse 2:
She was a rage, something so fierce
Grasping my feet as I came near
I held out my arms to gather you up
I fought off the demons, shed tears and shed blood
And waves crashed around; swallowed me whole
Swallowed the moon and it drowned out my soul

Chorus 2:
I said ‘I love him’, I said we'd last
So I'll walk on water, hold steady, hold fast

Verse 3:
Her fury subsides; we wake with the dawn
Taking account of what [E/G#]damage was done
To our surprise we did not meet death
Love stood up strong, oh love haloed our head
We walked the waves far out at sea
Wrapped in His arms oh my lover and me
Raging or calm; little we care
‘Cause love is a [E/G#]force that will carry us home
And waves danced around; we learn to let go
To sing to the m[E/G#]oon and awaken the s[E/G#]oul

CHORUS 3
We said, ‘I love You’; we said we’d last
So we’ll walk on [E/G#]water, hold steady, hold fast
So we’ll walk on [E/G#]water, hold steady, hold fast
