Introducción: Am    G9    Am    G9    Am    G9    F    G    Am    

Am                                                 G9  
  As he travels on the beast of burden
Am                                            G9  
  Moving up along the mountainside
Am                                                 G9  
  As he gazes looking down the valley
  F                    G                      Am  
No regrets but his pride
Am                                                      G9  
  As he journeys across mountain passes
Am                                         G9  
  Insignificance sweeps over him
Am                                                      G9  
  His reflection of the beauty 'round him
  F                      G         Am  
Feeling empty inside
Am                                                      G9  
  He is running from his wildest thoughts
Am                                                         G9  
  He is running from his everything
Am                                                    G9  
  He is looking now to find something
  F              G                         Am  
Hoping he could be saved
Instrumental
E5                                                                              C5      B5      D5  
  He's searching for the answer now
E5                                                                                              C5                         B5         D5  
  It's something that he's managed to avoid up to now
E5                                                                 C5         B5      D5  
  Real conviction that he craves
E5                                                                         C5                         B5         D5  
  He needs to find the answer sooner than later
Instrumental
E5                                                                         C5      B5      D5  
  Pushed himself to the limits
E5                                                                            C5                                    B5            D5  
  He had to strive for all the harder things in life
E5                                                                            C5         B5      D5  
  But what the cost to give in now?
E5                                                                                      C5                            B5         D5  
  His life, his time are the only things that he has
Pre-Chorus
B5  
  Life is not a rehearsal
C#5                                                                                                      D5  
All he has is the one chance to get it right
                                                          E5  
Leaving really is the only way to know
B5                                                                 C#5  
  Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done
D5                                                                            E5  
  But now the pain of lying too early in the grave
  Bm                                              G                    Em  
Destiny, no good to hide away
  Bm                                                      G                    Em  
Penance now will be his only way
Bm                                                         G                    Em  
Understand, no good to run away
  Bm                                                         G                         Em  
Penance now will be his saving grace

E5                                                                                 C5         B5      D5  
  He tries to make his peace with God
E5                                                                      C5                              B5         D5  
  All is forgivable but it's left a little late
E5                                                                    C5         B5      D5  
  Trying something that he's not
E5                                                 C5                         B5         D5  
  Is it possible to change such a lot?
Instrumental
E5                                                                    C5         B5      D5  
  He's taken someone's life away
E5                                                                                 C5                                 B5            D5  
  There's not a day goes by he regrets what he's done
E5                                                                         C5         B5      D5  
  He should have found another way
E5                                                                      C5                      B5            D5  
  But the good book says: "An eye for an eye"
Pre-Chorus
B5                                              C#5  
  In reflecting on decisions that were made
D5                                                                         E5  
  On the judgements that will haunt him till his grave
B5                                                            C#5  
  No one has the right to take another life
D5                                                                      E5  
  But in his mind he had no choice, so be it
  Bm                                              G                    Em  
Destiny, no good to hide away
  Bm                                                      G                    Em  
Penance now will be his only way
Bm                                                         G                    Em  
Understand, no good to run away
  Bm                                                         G                         Em  
Penance now will be his saving grace
  Bm                                              G                    Em  
Destiny, no good to hide away
  Bm                                                      G                    Em  
Penance now will be his only way
Bm                                                         G                    Em
