Verse 1
E
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
C#m7 Bsus E A
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
E
Of ten thousand weeping with wings
C#m7 Bsus E A
On their tears amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
E
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
C#m7 Bsus E A
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
E
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide
C#m7 Bsus E A
Singing the praises of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid
Pre-chorus
B C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
A B C#m7 A
Their doors for the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
E
Where the blood of a husband
A B E
Silences wars for the girl who rises to meet him
Chorus
A C#m7
And she sings world I've overcome you world I've overcome you
Bsus A Bsus
World I've overcome by my song and the blood of a Son
Verse 2
E
But ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
C#m7 Bsus E A
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
E
For sinew to cling to for wind to remain
C#m7 Bsus E A
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
E
I'm breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
C#m7 Bsus E A
Where the cynical have lain where the cynical go down
E
Save the gravity of lets go of her drowned
C#m7 Bsus E A
Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
