A E
[Verse 1]
A E Bm F#m
We dig for the gods that leave no bones
D A E
For the ship that sailed in the sunken sea
Bm A E F#m
The vessel lost in the sky and stones
A E D
The famine road, and the merchants keep
[Verse 2]
A E F#m
Come and search, for we would search
A E
And looking for a scarred land
A E F#m
Turn the soil, weave a dream
A E
Thread the river, ring the sand
D
And dig for those whose stories lie
A E
With buried pasts and futures won
D
And dig for us as we have done
A E F#m
To lay the dead out in the sun
A E A
To lay us dead out in the sun
[Verse 3]
A E Bm F#m
Coins for the eyes and keys for the door
D A E
Fortress, grave goods, chambered tomb
Bm A E F#m
Abandonded villages, rumours of war
A E D
We dig for pattern, read the rune
[Verse 4]
A E F#m
And so a clue to who we are
A E
And where we were and why we will
A E F#m
Inheritors of knowledge now
A E
And ancestors to those who still might
D
Dig for those whose stories lie
A E
With buried path and futures won
D
And dig for us as we done
A E F#m
To lay the dead out in the sun
A E A
To lay us dead out in the sun
