Verso 1:

Dm 
 Slaving for my solace of mind 
Bb 
 Digging in the sand until there's blood on my hands 
Dm                                                Bb 
 Careless to the state I'm in, I've so long been alone 
                                     Dm 
I've so long been alone, I can't go on 
Bb         F             Gm         A    F           C     Dm 
Rain down, rain down and cleanse my soul flow like a river 

Verso 2:

Dm 
 Forging insight by pagan torchlight 
Bb                                           Dm 
 In cadence warlike, we draw tears from the sky 

Because the well's run dry 
Bb         F             Gm         A    F           C 
Rain down, rain down and cleanse my soul flow like a river 


Ponte:
Dm 
 I've spread out my seed, it's gone in all directions 
Bb                             Gm                 Bb 
Oh, It starts to feel like the promised land is a fantasy 
    C               Dm 
And heaven has been swallowed by the desert 



Dm                              F 
 In a drought without submission, not a cloud in the sky 
Dm                               F 
 This course keeps getting harder  the more I try 
      Bb                                C 
And I dig up dry bones, and the corpses cry as they open their eyes 
   Bb                          C 
to see the world's decay, This world's a tomb, there's a clamor in my heart and 
     Dm Bb   F             C 
It's Over,   Where is my prize 
     Dm Bb   F             C  Bb  C             Dm 
It's over,   Where is my prize,     my promised prize? 
Verso 2:

Dm 
 Forging insight by pagan torchlight 
Bb                                           Dm 
 In cadence warlike, we draw tears from the sky      Oh 
Bb         F             Gm         A    F           C     Dm 
Rain down, rain down and cleanse my soul flow like a river 


Outro 
Bb         F             Gm         A    F           C     Dm 
Rain down, rain down and cleanse my soul flow like a river   Oh ho Ohhh 
Bb         F             Gm         A    F           C     Dm 
Rain down, rain down and cleanse my soul flow like a river
