Cradle Pyre

D Bm D Bm



D                   Bm

  ON a tidal wave I stand

D                      Bm

  Perhaps of me you've heard

D                          Bm

  With a storm cloud in my hand

A                      G

  I've come dispensing Word



D                      Bm

  OF your company I've tired

D                      Bm

  Your welcome here is worn

D                             Bm

  It's you who lit this cradle pyre

Gm                        Dm    C

  It is you who woke this storm

Gm                        Dm    C

  It is you who woke this storm



F    A*



D*                  Bm*

  SO I do this with regret

D*                          Bm*

  But you've left me little choice

D*                           Bm*

  When your mouth is full of threats

Gm                          Dm    C

  When you speak you use my voice

Gm                          Dm    C

  When you speak you use my voice



F    A*



A#    F            A        Dm

  OH, child, where will you run

A#         F          C*

  When the world's on fire?

A#    F             A      Dm

  Old man, see what you've done,

A#       F           C*

  as the flames grow higher
