Dirt And Roses

INTRO | | | n.c. | (full band) | | | | | | | n.c. | verse 1     This city grieves like widows clasping folded flags against their hearts     Raindrops spill like dirt and roses on black coffins in the dark     Not yet corpses still we rot oblivious to our decay     Drinking poison drop by drop destined to die Unless we save our lives from the coming tide That seeks to drown us in its waves But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold Then we’ll rue each passing day     verse 2     And I swear this place once was alive     The streets all pulsed like living veins     Heart worth beating coarse with blood     The buildings breathe each time they sway     The time of death    punctuated by the bells     The sky turned red    then came the rain n.c.                                  Come on let’s save our lives from the coming tide That seeks to drown us in its waves But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold Then we’ll rue each passing day     INTERLUDE 1 | | | | | | | | BREAKDOWN They drown they’ll crush you from the top I’d rather die I  would rather chase them down. These worlds are crashing forward  they try to set alight Built our true fates while they drown BRIDGE   Like fallen soldiers on these fields we spared our lives   Bodies hurled upon the  wheels I swear we tried   I came upon this godforsaken sight and felt it all pass by INTERLUDE 2 ( ) | |      | |      | |      | FINAL Chorus 1 n.c.                                  Come on let’s save our lives from the coming tide That seeks to drown us in its waves But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold Then we’ll rue each passing day     FINAL Chorus 2 So save our... Our lives it’s coming clear Yeah it’s becoming clear to me We’ll never sell our soul for the chance of gold And we’ll live each passing day
