              Verse 
  
(A)            G              Bm 
I?m told the end is not far away 
               G                   Bm    
I?ve seen the change, it?s ours to save 
(A)          G                     Bm 
Before the sun has time, time to fade 
         G                            Bm 
We must light the torch, to find our way 
 
 
 
Bm           G    D        Bm 
I felt the earth moving today 
            G      D         Em  
And I saw a change in the waves 
G       Bm         D         Em  
The sky went from blue to black 
G       Bm               D       Bm        
The leaves have all been burnt away

We must light the torch, to find our way 
 
 
Bm              G       D    Bm 
I?ve heard the forest screaming 
              G       D    Em 
For help the river?s pleading 
G          Bm     D        Em 
How did we let it go this far? 
G    Bm   A   Bm 
      Murderers
