🎸 Swords To Rust Hearts To Dust chords by Rome

Intro:
Am C G F

Verse 1:
Am        E7
We shall let our songs drown
         Am
The rattle of the train
            E7
And the roaring of the crowd
Am        E7           Am
We shall wet our throat with sticky dark wine
           E7
And toast this blood wedding so fine
Am    E7        Am
To new horizons! to a new dawn!
            E7
To a new and reckless generosity!
Am      E7
For this our land of the free
     Am     E7
We shall win, die or betray and turn

Chorus:
Am        C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
In vain to write our name
F
In blood and in flowers of flame
Am        C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust
G
All blind and gone astray
F
Our envy green as may

Verse 2:
Am          E7
All smothered in wild flowers
Am         E7
We break the windows to breathe
Am         E7
That golden dawn is ours
Am        E7
For tonight hesitation is on leave
Am     E7
To wear god down
        Am
To flatten him out
       E7
To pray to no other
Am       E7
To parley with death
       Am
To bury the crown
        E7
To silence all lovers
We shall turn

Chorus:
Am        C
Swords to rust - hearts to dust

In blood and in flowers of flame
Am        C

G
All blind and gone astray
F
Our envy green as may

N.C.
Dennoch die herzen spalten
