VERSE
Em Em9 Em Em7 Em Em11 Em9 Em
Winter softly falling to the ground
Em Em9 Em Em7 Em Em11 Em9 Em
Calmly waiting don't you hear a sound
Em Em9 Em Em7
When the world has fallen to the depths below
Em Em11 Em9 Em
Where the future's open and the fear has grown
Em Em9 Em Em7
And the path to follow to the great unknown
Em Em11 Em9 Em
Where the dark has fallen and the seed is sown
Em Em9 Em Em7 Em Em11 Em9 Em
PART 2
E5 F#5 D E
In the selfish hearts of some
E/G E/A E/F# E/G E/F#
The nightmare's coming
E5 F#5 D E
With the spilling blood of others
G A E5
Now wringing through
E5 F#5 D E
Now the cup is spilling over
E/G E/A E/F# E/G E/F#
Wake to news of death
E5 F#5 D E
And the prophecy of sages
G A E5
Destiny is met
E5 F#5 D E
To the depths of human mind
E/G E/A E/F# E/G E/F#
The cry is burning
E5 F#5 D E
With the mentor's anger
G A E5
Of the lesson ringing true
E5 F#5 D E
And for those who live by
E/G E/A E/F# E/G E/F#
and are dying by the sword
E5 F#5 D E
They will take their ideals with them
G A E5
Justify their end
CHORSU
C A
Where the fools are lying and the meek are crying
B
Where the wolves are preying
G A
On the weak alone
C
Where the sons are dying
A
Hear their mothers crying
B
And the distant sound of fire
G A E
Begins again
G Dm7 Csus
Never ending the desires of men
G Dm7 E5
It'll never be the same or calm again
G Dm7 Csus
In a time of changing hearts And great unknown
G Dm7 E5
It'll be the damnation and end of us all
