 2nd guitar:

Verse I:

 C                 Gsharp   C
Come and see the brilliant lights
Don't let your emotions mask your sight
It's a manifestation of a deeper fight 
 Bflat              G
That effects me and you

 C		   Gsharp   C
My optimism was running high
A new world order was on my mind
But I couldn't believe it when I heard them say
 Bflat              G
They're throwing it away . . . (highG)

Chorus I:

 Eflat	         Bflat       c Bflat C
And the fertile crescent is burning today

 Eflat	      Bflat      F   highG
And baby my emotions are too

 Eflat	      Bflat        C   Bflat  C
The cradle of humanity has led us all astray

 Gsharp		       Bflat        G
and we're all in this together don't you know

 Gharp		     Bflat
cause our species has nowhere else to go.

Verse II:
Aggression rears its ugly head, retaliation brings further dread
the two are linked by unseen threads that wind back through time
I don't agree with this out-dated trend, nationalism's but an evil friend
Hatred's instilled by invisible lines drawn in our minds

Chorus II:
And the fertile Crescent is haunting us today
And baby our instincts are too
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way
And I think we all should heed it don't you know, 
Cause we don't know where else to go.

Chorus III:

And the Fertile Crescent is haunting us today
And baby our instincts are too
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way
And I think we all should heed it don't you know
Cause we've got nowhere else to go.
