B          F
Out of the blue,
       B          F
On the wings of a dove,
  B         F
A messenger comes,
A messenger comes 
 C                    C
with the beating of drums,
Bb
it's not a message of love

    B            F
Our children are born,
    B            F
and we keep them warm,
     B             F
they must have the right
               C
to live in the light,
Bb
to be safe from the storm

    B          F
And out of the blue,
     B            F
with wings on his heels,
  B         F
a messenger comes,
        C
bearing regrets
Bb
for the time that he steals

    B           F
But steal it he will,
   B              F
my children's and mine,
B           F
against our desires,
                C
against all our needs,
Bb
our blood spilled like wine

Dmi      C       B
Over and over we call,
       Dmi
No one hears... and further
    C           B          F
and further and further we fall...
          Dmi          C              B
Though we brave it, we soon will have wait
      Dmi                         C
It is clear that it's no dream at all,
    B            F
our lives are at stake

B  C

 B      F
I cannot believe...
    B    F
nor even pretend...
         B         F
that the thunder I hear,
          C
will just disappear,
Bb
and the nightmare will end

   B             F
So hold back the fire,
        B            F
because this much is true,
     B              F
when all's said and done,
                 C
then ending will come,
Bb
from out of the blue
