G Em Am7 Every thread of creation is held in position C D by still other strands of things living. G Em In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline Am7 C of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar, G Em as not to be satisfied with their own negativity Am7 C D G but needing to touch all the living as well. And every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath We exhale on the blue diamond heaven As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin We're poisoned by venom with each breath we take From the brown sulphur chimney And the black highway snake And every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension Like the yolk of the egg in albumen Where the birth and the death of unseen generations Are interdependent in vast orchestration And painted in colors of tapestry thread When the dying are born and the living are dead And every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment That flows through the veins of your being Like a river of life flowing on since creation Approaching the sea with each new generation You're now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace That is rapidly drowning the whole human race And every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely Every doe that steps softly Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow On this colorful tapestry, somehow they know That if man is allowed to destroy all we need He will soon have to pay with his life for his greed | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm7 C D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
