Intro :
[F/A]
[F/A]The plaza in the village
Where [G]mission bells used to ring
Is [F]now crumbled to a pile of stench and [F/A]ruin

Even the swallows have vanished
no l[G]onger return in the spring
All the [F]blossoms are buried ,'neath the [F/A]waste

[G]Out of the shadows grow hatred
Along the [F]corridor crawls fear
[G]Crushed by the promise of hope
That never re[F/A]turned

[ch]Bm/D[/ch] A#
Watched with a hawk's trained eye

[Chorus]
[Am]Trees [Em]grow [C]sil[G]ent [Dm]fruit
[Am]'neath[Em] a [C]suff[G]ering [Dm]sky

[F/A]Those who have stayed, keep a flame
In memory of the fallen
And pass on the old rites despite the risk
But many more have left here
On mended broken wings

[F/A]Turning to see your reaction
A [G]tear drop fills your eye
But [F]you protest not to give up as give in
[F/A]Heading straight for the wreckage
[G]Picking up a shovel and a hoe
Start [F]putting back the bricks one by [F/A]one

[G]Numbers come out of the woodwork
[F]Curious to see the rebirth
[ch]Bm/D[/ch] A#
Above the swollen clouds

[Chorus]
A s[Am]trange [Em]sound [C]fills [G]the [Dm]air
A [Am]sil[Em]ence [C]nev[G]er [Dm]heard
[Am]Fall[Em]ing [C]like [G]blessed [Dm]rain
[F/A]And the swallows return
