[Intro 1]
[Em]
[Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Winter softly
falling to the ground
Calmly waiting don't you
hear a [Am]sound[Em]
When the world has fallen
to the depths below
Where the future's open
and the fear [A]has [Em]grown
And the path to follow to
the great unknown
Where the dark has fallen and

[Interlude 1]
the seed is sown
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 2]
In the [Em]selfish hearts of some
The nightmare's coming
With the spilling blood of others
[G]Now [A]wringing [Em]through
Now the cup is spilling over
Wake to news of death
And the prophecy of sages
Destiny [Am]is m[Em]et
To the depths of human mind
The cry is burning
With the mentor's anger
Of the [G]lesson [A]ringing [Em]true
And for those who live by and
are dying by the sword
They will take their ideals with them
[G]Jus[Em]ti fy[Am] their end[Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]Where the fools are lying [Am]and
the meek are crying
[Bm]Where the wolves are preying
[G]On the weak [A]alone
[Am]Wher[C]e the sons are dying
[Am]Hear [A]their mothers crying
[Bm]And the distant sound of fire[G]
Begins [A]again

[Verse 4]
[Em]Never ending the de[G]sires of [D]men
It'll [C]never be the same or [G]calm [D]again
In a [Em]time of changing hearts
And [G]great un[D]known
It'll [C]be the damnation and [G]end of us
[D]all

[Interlude 2]
[Em][G][Am][Em]
[G][Am][Em]

[Verse 5]
[C]Where the fools are lying
[Am]And the [A]meek are crying
[Bm]Where the wolves are preying
[G]On the weak [A]alone
[C]Where the sons are dying
[Am]Hear their mothers cry[A]ing[Bm]
And the distant sound of [G]fire
begins [Am]again[A][Em]

[Verse 6]
Never ending the de[G]sires of [D]men
It'll [C]never be the same or [G]calm [D]again
In a [Em]time of changing hearts
And [G]great un[D]known
It'll [C]be the damnation and [G]end of us [D]all

[Verse 7]
[Em]When the world has fallen
And we stand [Am]alone
[Em]
