Em
A time of change, a time to rest
Em A
Bolt up the windows, dig in hard shoulder
A
Then come out, to give yourself,
A Em Em
to give yourself a fighting chance
Em
I've seen those eyes, I know that face
Em
So many search for a resting place
Em
Just give me your word, that's all I need
Em A
No time to lose, I've wasted too much already
A A Em Em
Making plans by the ninety, taking action by the new time

Em
The lonely search in the silent halls
Em
Hunters prowl around wounded in the night
A A
By an unknown enemy, who runs them down
A Em Em
By wearing a hundred different masks
Em
With darkness closing all around
Em
Your light is small but let it shine
A A A
That much brighter, everytime, everytime
A Em Em
Everytime I look to you
