Intro chords

Verse

 The rains move eastward in waves of succession

Drawing lines of grey across the sky

 With history just as close as a hand on the shoulder

 In hunger and impatience we cry

 The battle against corruption rages in each corner

 There must be something better, something pure

 And the call it is answered from the caves to the cities

 Come the dealers of Salvation on Earth

Violin part:

Verse

 We've seen the restless children at the head of the columns

 Come to purify the future with the arrogance of youth

Nothing is as cruel as the righteousness of innocents

 With automatic weapons and a gospel of the truth

Chorus

Revolution for ever, succession of the seasons

 Within the blood of Nature, all raised to rot and die

  - - - etc.

This purity, purity is a lie

Violin part

Verse

 Now immaculate conception in sterilised laboratories

How the vanity goes on

 Or in the message of the preacher with his morals and obsessions

 The wars that we wage upon ourselves

Purity is a virtue, purity is an angel

Purity is for madmen to make fools of us all

 So forgive yourself my friend, all this will soon be over

 What happened here tonight is nothing at all

Chorus

Revolution for ever, succession of the seasons

 Within the blood of Nature, all raised to rot and die

  - - - etc.

This purity, purity is a lie

Violin part

 I will always see Brendan at that broken down piano

 His fingers thick and red, shaking on the keys

Battered by the years of alcohol and working

 Still playing with the faith that never leaves

 So sit us down, buy us a drink, tell us a good story

Sing us a song we know to be true

 I don't give a damn that I never will be worthy

... etc

Fear is the only enemy that I still know

Violin outro

I couldn't find these anywhere so I worked them out. 'Purity is a virtue...' may

not be 100% but it can work well this way.

Great song, enjoy.
