To the east we have our [Dsus4/F#]lowest land
Taken from the sea
But soon it will be taken back
As the black water comes [Dsus4/F#]creeping back

To the west we have tri[Dsus4/F#]umphant hills
And lakes that dress the scars
But soon it will be taken back
As the black water shat[Dsus4/F#]ters and cracks

So we look to the stars
In their infinite sky
As science and faith collide into the night
We’re in the firing [Dsus4/F#]line….. again

To the south we have our [Dsus4/F#]richest land
But Christ you have to pay
But soon there?ll be nowhere to stay
As the black water re[Dsus4/F#]treats away

To the north Monroes scat[Dsus4/F#]ter the land
They lead the rain astray
But the rain will take its share away
And where black water was [Dsus4/F#]earth remains

So we look to the past
To some difficult time
As science and faith collide into the night
We?re in the firing [Dsus4/F#]line… again

So herein lies some [Dsus4/F#]sound… advice
Much older than its years
Move to the north and ride your luck
G MUTE
Cos elsewhere you’ll be f

N/C Cadd9
So we look to our god
To some promising heir
As science and faith collide into the night
We?re in the firing [Dsus4/F#]line… again
As science and faith collide
We?ll [Dsus4/F#]fight right back
Until the firing [Dsus4/F#]line has changed

Wilful Missing – Cry for the City

Capo V

I find it hard to change
Beyond routine
With its iron back
And its cheap caffeine

But we go too far
Down this road we?ve turned

We will cry for the city
We will beg for its crime
We will see what we?re missing
We will beg and we will cry

I?ve struggled hard to be
What my Daddy wants
What my Sister feels
What my Girlfriend needs

But we go too far
Down this road we?ve turned

We will cry for the city
We will reap what we sow
We will find we?ve sowed so little
But we will reap and we will sow

I?m haunted by a dream
A future scene
With an absent heart
And an open seam

I?ve got no heart left to break
It?s my saving grace
My road to ruin
My oldest friend

But we go too far
Down this road we?ve turned

We will cry for the city
We will read of its past
We will fail to listen
We will read and we?ll ignore
We will cry for the city
We will search for its hope
And from the concrete
Revolution springs its head
Towards the sun
