FIRST VERSE
D#m F#
Lumberjack's looking out for trees
D#m F#
choppin' days out of centuries
D#m F#
But you get them on their knees
B C# B
Cause they ain't so tough I heard things about 'em
D#m F#
The dark sea is a careless host
D#m F#
From northpole to pacific coast
D#m F#
Pure blood is the viking's toast
B C# B
But his heart will cry if it goes without it
CHORUS

And the sirens always sing
D#m F# B C#
The chants from heaven

Not expecting to be heard

But the love that it won't bring
D#m F# B
Will make hearts sever
C# B
Of those who go
SECOND VERSE
D#m F#
The sweet call of the distant shore
D#m F#
They don't know what they're wishing for
D#m F#
If they knock on the devil's door
B C# B
They better make sure they got something to say
D#m F#
Everybody has a life to fill
D#m F#
They hate waiting and they can't sit still
D#m F#
And what is time but something to kill
B C# B
Until it's nothing left and the night has the last laugh
D#m F#
They all know when it comes to you
D#m F#
The lucky ride only takes a few
D#m F#
why have a soul when it's yours to lose
B C# B
you gotta pick your fight you got work to do
D#m F#
Some say that they're running away
D#m F#
From what or where now they wouldn't say
D#m F#
In their minds they're never late
B C# B
Cause there ain't no-one that is waiting for them
SECOND CHORUS

THIRD VERSE
D#m F#
Pale riders in a lonely nest
D#m F#
I bet the spanish have a word for this
D#m F#
And a banner that they can't resist

But they're not so tough I heard things about them
D#m F#
Some say that they're running away

And underneath the skin
D#m F# B
The heart will quiver

of those who roam

The chants from heaven

Will make hearts sever
