Verse: G C There's miles of land in front of us. Em And we're dying with every step we take. D We're dying with every breath we make. G And I'll fall in line. C The stranger's back is all I see. Em He's only a few feet in front of me. D And I'll look left and right sometimes, G But I'll fall in line. C No one looks up anymore, Em Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye. D And heaven forbid they see you cry, G As we fall in line. C And about this time of every year, Em The line will go to the ocean pier D And walk right off into the sea. G And then we fall asleep. Interlude -x3-: G C Em D Verse: G C And as we near the end of land, Em And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand. D G I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?" C Then out of the corner of my eye, Em I see a spaceship in the sky D and hear a voice inside my head. C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me." C G D "Follow me." Interlude: G C Em D Verse: G C Then the wages of war will start Em Inside my head with my counterparts. D And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase, G "This line's the only way." C And then I start down the sand. Em My eyes are focused on the end of land. D But again the voice inside my head says, C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me." C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me instead." C G D "Follow me instead." Verse: G C Take me up, Seal the door. Em I don't wanna march here anymore. D I realize that this line is dead. G So I'll follow you instead. C So then you put me back in my place, Em So I might start another day. D And once again I will be, G In a march to the sea. Outro: G
Oh my god! I didn’t know the rest of the song! This is so sad! I’m tear bending I swear!
The fact that the original voice actor for Uncle Iroh wrote this song for himself because he knew he was going to die just adds a new layer of depth to this song. Apparently the original voice actor for Iroh had his final recording by singing this song before he died. He was a soldier in the military and the picture of Iroh’s “son” is a picture of the voice actor in as a younger man. He never got to see the show air.
