Cm        A#                     Gm
Wake up, wake up, you sleepy red wolves
Cm            G#         C
Your time has come to be altered in stars
Cm        A#                  Gm
From out of the red river you run
Cm            G#              C
Wagging your tails with your backs to the bark

All the red stripes of the righteous will get you
Yours will be feathered and fallow on farms
All of your lives have been lifted in riches
Come to me, love to me, all my red stars

Look up, look up, you sleeping horse men
All the confinement that comes to your head
From out of the parade they will fall
Come to me, love to me, all my red stars

All the impossible shapes we live in
Don't be afraid, be of what we are given
All the red stars the imposter has lived in
Don't be afraid, be of what you have given

All the impossible shapes we live in
Don't be afraid, be of what we are given
All the impossible shapes we live in
Don't be afraid, be of what we are given

All the impossible shapes we live in
Don't be afraid, be of what we are given
All the impossible shapes we live in
Don't be afraid, be of what we are given

Dm        Fm            C           Am
Don't be afraid be of what we are given
G#        D#        C#        A#
All the impossible shapes we live in
Dm        Fm           C           Am
Don't be afraid be of what we are given
G#     D#     C#           A#
Wide, sharp, different, impossible
Dm     Fm    C     Am
slow, slow, slow, slow
G#    D#     C#           A#
Wide, sharp, different, impossible
Dm    Fm    C
slow, slow, slow, slow

Wake up, wake up, you sleepy red wolves
Your time has come to be altered in song
