Land Where The Poets Died Undefined
[C] [Em] [F] [G] [C]
do you
[C]remember when the world had it's conscience [Em]wakened
[F]when poets dared to speak words others had [C] forsaken
[F]with choices to make and chances we thought worth [C]taking
[G]hoping that change could be a miracle in the [C] making
Chorus
[Am]They spoke of freedom and justice in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
but [F] in the shadows of time those verses have faded a[C]way
]now [G] we're living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[C]Words that healed, and somehow seemed to [Em] last
[F] words that changed our lives in a world so vague and [C]vast
[F]Defiant voices that put new colors upon our[C]masts
Our [G] champions of hope, fighting to fix the wrongs of the[C] past
Chorus
[Am]They spoke of freedom and justice in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
but [F] in the shadows of time those verses have faded a[C]way
]now [G] we're living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[C] [Em] [F] [G] [C]
[C] the truth was spoken with the power of a rising [Em]tide
[F] With strength in their voices and anger in their [C] eyes
[F]They would not be silenced, though many, many had [C]tried
But [G]now their words have gone silent and the music has [C] died
Chorus
[Am]They spoke of freedom and justice in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
but [F] in the shadows of time those verses have faded a[C]way
]now [G] we're living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[G]now we're living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[G]now we're living in the land where the poets voice has [C]died
