Iron Maiden - Revelations

      
 
 O God of earth and altar
     G                 Am 
 Bow down and hear our cry
 Our earthly rulers falter
     G                Am 
 Our people drift and die
 The walls of gold entombe us
 The swords of scorn divide
 Take not thy thunder from us
     G             Am   
 But take away our pride
 
 Am                     Cadd9 
 Just a babe in a black abyss
 C                          G   
 No reason for a place like this
 Am                     Cadd9            G   
 The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
 Am                             
 An easy way for the blind to go
 C                                   
 A clever path for the fools who know
 Am                F            C                G   
 The secret of the hanged man - the smile on his lips
 
 Am                              
 The light of the blind youll see
                      G  Am   
 The venom that tears my spine
                      G                   Am 
 The eyes of the nile are opening - youll see
 
 Am                                 
 She came to me with a serpents kiss
                       Cadd9       G   
 As the eye of the sun rose on her lips
 Am                               Cadd9 
 Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
                      Am     
 So we lay in a black embrace
 
 And the seed is sown in a holy place
 C                                  G   
 And I watched and I waited for the dawn
 
 The light of the blind youll see
 The venom that tears my spine
 The eyes of the nile are opening - youll see
 
 Am                     
 Bind all of us together
  G                 Am  
 Ablaze of hope and free
 
 No storm or heavy weather
      G                   Am 
 Will rock the boat youll see
                                 Cadd9 
 The time has come to close your eyes
     G                  Am  
 And still the wind and rain
 
 For the one who will be king
     G              Am  
 The watcher in the ring
 G     Am 
 It is you
