I've been Gadd9/Dten thousand miles in the A/Dmouth of a Dgraveyard

I saw a Gadd9/Droom full of men with their A/Dhammers a bleedDin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw Gadd9/Dten thousand talkers whose A/Dtongues were all broDken
I saw Gadd9/Dguns and sharp swords in the handsA/D of young childDren

And what'll you do now, my darling young A/Eone?
I'm a Gadd9/Dgoin' back out 'fore the rainA/D starts a falDlin'
I'll Gadd9/Dwalk to the depths of the A/Ddeepest black Dforest
Where the Gadd9/Dpeople are many and their handsA/D are all Dempt y
Where the Gadd9/Dpellets of poison are A/Dflooding the watDers
Where the Gadd9/Dhome in the valley meets the A/Ddamp dirty priDson
Where the Gadd9/Dexecutioner's face is alA/Dways well Dhidden
Where Gadd9/Dhunger is ugly, where the A/Dsouls are forDgotten
Where Gadd9/Dblack is the color, and A/Dnone is the numDber
And I'll Gadd9/Dtell it and think it and speakA/D it and breathe Dit
And reflectGadd9/D from the mountains so A/Dall souls can Dsee it
Then I'll Gadd9/Dstand in the ocean unA/Dtil I start Dsinking
But I'll know Gadd9/Dmy song well before A/DI start singDing
