[Verse]

B
Oh, 

I know your way
    E
Is hard 

to see today
 B                             
Bullets, 
                      F#
they fly faster than mother's lullabies
 
         B
And the sparrows cannot sing
    E
For it is theirs to bring
     B                   
The souls of those lost 
 F#         B
babies back to the sky
 
 
[Verse]

   B
So it is yours to sing
    E
My child, 

my wild brightling
          B                          
With the love born 
                  F#
in the cradle of time
 
     B
And fight and 

fight and fight
E
In the dying light
         B               
For all lost and 
        F#       B
gone forever clementines
 
 
[Chorus]

     B
Requiem
     E
Requiem
     B
The question is not if
F#
It was always when
 
       B
But go on, 

go on my child
 E
Hope is a 

prairie fire
 B              
Set your embers 
F#             B
on the summer wind
 
 
[Instrumerntal]

[Verse]

    B
Courage, 

mon petit loup
    E
Tu chante 

maintenant pour tous
     B
Les enfants 

dans les ombres
 F#
Peurs et froids, 

perdus
 
    B
Courage chanter 

bien forte
     E
Les perdus 

vont t'entendre
    B                
Et suivre le son de 
 F#                B
dix mille voix en joie
 
 
[Verse]

B
La haine est enterrée
         E
L'heure des miracles est née
    B
L'amour est éternelles
    F#
Courage, mes beaux, 

mes belles
 
   B
So it is yours to sing
    E
My child, 

my wild brightling
          B                
With the love born 
        F#        B
in the cradle of time
 
 
[Chorus]

 B              
Set your embers 
F#             B
