In the Night

© 1985 Saul Kaiserman

Intro: Am

F
I can hear them
C Am F
They call to me from the distance
C Am F G
In my soul I hear them saying just one word
Am
Remember
F
When it’s quiet
C Am F
And I close my eyes I can see them
C Am F
In the dark I hear them calling
G Am
“We must not be forgotten”

CHORUS
C G Am
And the screams are still ringing in my ears
C G F Am
And my eyes try to hold back the crying
G F
All the fears, all the tears,
Am
We’re still dying
C Am
In the night, so cold
G Am G Am
Blood red, pale white
F G Am
We’re still dying for the right to live

I can hear them, but the silence is growing louder

And it’s hard to hear them whisper
“Don’t let us be just a memory”

“Look around you,

They will tell you it never happened
Will you argue? Or be silent?
Just remember, we are calling”

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Am C F Am
The grass is green that grows upon the graves
Am C Esus E
Our voices die with every growing blade
Am C F Am
Is it so easy to look upon the leaves
Am C Esus E
And forget what is buried underneath?

CHORUS, then half-chorus to “We’re still dying” and repeat:

C G Am
And the screams are still ringing in my ears (2x), we’re still . . .
