N.C.Quiet the drone in the distance approaches
N.C.We hide, and hope they pass us by
N.C.Waiting in silence, praying they don't find us
N.C.And maybe they'll spare us our lives

N.C.Just maybe they'll spare us our lives

N.C.Desolate village of sorrow and anguish
N.C.I stare upon what once was home
N.C.Explosions and flashes leave embers and ashes
N.C.And now I've got nowhere to go

N.C.And now we've got nowhere to go

Em Em C D (same as chorus)

[Verse 1]

Am          C           G             AmNow, as the fire rains down from the sky
Am          C           G             AmI see the love disappear from her eyes
Am          C            G             AmI've seen the hearts of our people all change like the wind
     C           G        AmA helping hand, I cannot find

[Pre-Chorus]

      CHold on
             G                 FWe'll find a place to call our home
      Am             CNevermore, will you cry
         G                 DTogether we'll live on alone

[Chorus]

EmLife or death

We will not live forever
COr did you forget
C   D    EmSelflessness bereft You looked the other way
   C                 DAs we are left for dead

[Verse 2]

Am           C            G        AmGone are the tears of the innocent child
Am              C               G          AmEach day you're cursed watching her fading smile
Am          C             GYou must be brave little sister
     Am                  C          G             AmI'll swallow my pride, whatever it takes to survive

[Pre-Chorus 2]

        CBe strong
        G                    FThe fireflies will light the way
       Am         CNever stop, carry on
             G            DYou are the life in me today

[Chorus]

EmLife or death

We will not live forever
COr did you forget
C   D    EmSelflessness bereft You looked the other way
   C                  DAs we are left for dead

D  G   EmAs the raid begins
                               C          DThe blackened rain turns red a beautiful display of hatred
EmNothing left
                               C                D   EmBeneath the flames of where my love was laid to rest

[Bridge]
N.C.Sleep, little one all your nightmares are gone
N.C.Rest in piece, and be free of your pain
N.C.For you I will fight one more day

N.C.Echoes of your voice repeatedly tormenting
N.C.Reminds me of my mistakes
N.C.How do I live with myself
N.C.My conscious says I sent you to an early grave
N.C.Have I sent you to an early grave
