[Verse 1]
When [Em]the moon will rise again
[E]Until[Em] we read the Parthian skin
Broken fears,
warning days are [Am]here [Em]again[G]
'Fore [Em]we all to dust descend
Heaven knows when life will en[G]d
God [Em]to know in the mire,
put out [G]the fire

[Verse 2]
Know there [Em]is a cross to bear
In your primal quest of fear
[G]No quarter now[Em] is given, no less[G]
Aslumber[Em]was my main ideal
Asun[Am]der [Em]did my spirit steal
Sceptred race uttered words in disgrace
[G]Sweet re

[Verse 3]
[Em]venge [E]will [Em]be ours
Vengeance of a shaken [G]world
Just re[Em]member that patience is no [G]sin
And [Em]to find another way
Live to breathe another [G]day
Lord of [Em]light, in the darkness, our [G]guide

[Verse 4]
[Em]In a tempest, never shaken
[C]Edge of doom is not mistaken
[Am]Countenance is not a sin
[Bm]Gallant king, we vow to him
[Em]Fiercest wolf with a leopard skin
[C]Dark and bitter deep within
In[Am]vader punished with his life
[Bm]Van quished in the morning

[Verse 5]
Sea of [Em]blood in light divine
Unholy [C]reverence enjoyed
In[Am]toxicated with their hell
[Bm]Man immortal, sickness dwell

[Verse 6]
Savage [Em]beasts, troops engage
Assembled [C]here to butcher blades
[Am]Smoke has darkened in the air
[Bm]Smell of death and deep despair

[Verse 7]
[Em]Wilderness a tyrant dream
[C]Sell your soul not give them power
[Am]Slay upon the imperial crown
[Bm]Witness now the witching hour
[Em]Bound himself to oath and king
Such [C]loyalty, a shameless thing
[Am]Youth of agony still burn
Shed[Bm]ding parents blood

[Verse 8]
Never [Em]say a prayer to me
For this [C]crime, treachery
Drinking [Am]from your cup of wisdom true
[Bm]Many men will follow you
Now [Em]an army is raised
And our [C]gods, they be praised
[Am]Death is but a gilted edge
Shall [Bm]no more than we will pledge

[Verse 9]
Hear the [C]cry, we are ready to [D]believe

[Verse 10]
The [Em]prodigal has returned
Give us [G]our own re[C]venge
With the [Am]power, he learned
[D]We will bur[G]n the same aga[D]in

[Verse 11]
A be[Em]trayal of angels [G]in a foreign [C]land
A re[Em]venge [Am]for the merciful
[D]des[G]tiny at [D]hand
For all [Em]those who have written
In the [C]sand [G]will be tol[C]d
That the [Em]same [Am]will happen
[G]searching for [D]gold
Like a [Em]fire in the sky
I can [G]feel strength re[Am]turn
[C]Heading for[Am] afte[D]rlife, mee[G]t me t[D]he[Am]re[Em]
