Verse(use chords mapped above);
Sweet smell of great sorrow lies over the land,
Plumes of smoke rise, and merge into the leaden sky,
A man lies and dreams, of green fields and river,
But awakes to the morning, with no reason for waking.

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise, <- At "paradise" play
fill A (below)
In his youthful dream, he can't be precise,
He's chained forever, to a world thats departed, <- At "chained", play
fill B
It's not enough, it's not enough.

verse;
His blood os frozen, and curdled with fright,
His knees have trembled, and given way in the night. <-- at "night", play
fill C
His hand is weakend with the moment of truth,
His step has faltered.

One word, one soul.
Time pass, river roll.

verse:
(hold low E till "dedication", than dive out w/bar)
And he talks to the river, of lost love and dedication,
Slient replies, that swirl invitation,
Flow dark and troubled, to an oily sea,
A grim intmation, of what is to be.
There's an unceasing wind, that blows through this night,
There's dust in my eyes, it blinds my sight, <- At "sight" and
"words" play fill
And silence that speaks so much louder than words,
Of promises broken.
