Lyrics

Without Light (Forever We Are Blind)
Ragg 2023

C C/B
A candle snuffed... enter darkness
C/A
... densely wrapped,
Am7
feels like a trap.
Dm7 Am7 G
A voice yells out relax it will all be fine.
Fm7
But I can't
Dm
... make it back
G
...to kind
Fmaj7 C
with that voice ringing in my mind.
Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
Without the light forever I am blind.


C C/B
Empty thrones... so quick to fill
C/A
...almost gift wrapped
Am7
...to fill a gap.
Dm7 Am7 G
A voice yells out relax it will all be fine.
Dm
Yet there's no moves
Fm7
...to bring it back
Dm G
...to kind,
Fmaj7 C
with that voice ringing in my mind.
Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
without the light forever we are blind.


F
Bring a light, bring a lantern
C
Bring the brightness of your banter
G
... the brightness of a smile
C C C
Bring peace... sweet peace...release,
F
release that flow...of love
C
...and stem that harsh, harsh tide
G
..that burst the river so wide
C C C G
...and so many cried, and cried, and died, while no one cares
G C
...and the guardians of life just blankly stare.


C C/B
Shattered trust ... piercing fragments
C/A
... tear through the map
Am7
it all unwraps.
Dm7 Am7 G
A voice yells out relax it will all be fine.
Dm7
Hate seeps
Fm7
...into the valleys
Dm G
... that once were so kind,
Fmaj7 C
with that voice ringing in our minds.
Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
Without the light forever we are blind.
