Dm
Across a painted desert lies
                F
a train of vagabonds
Dm
All that’s left of what we
                         F
were it’s what we have become
Dm
Once our empires glorious
                      F
but now the empire’s gone

The dead gave us the time to
                          F
live and now our time is done

building graveyards for the brave
