G
On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
A
Bm
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
Bm
G
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right
A
Bm
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight
Bm
G
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore
A
Bm
The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores
Em
Bm
On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as we go
G
A
In fire and pain, and once again we know
D
A
So now we fly ever free
G
We're free before the thunderstorm
Bm
A
G
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Bm
G
Bm
D
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Em
A
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
G
Bm
So far away we wait for the day
A
F#m
For the light source so wasted and gone
G
Bm
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
A
Bm
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
Bm
G
As the red day is dawning, and the lightning cracks the sky
A
Bm
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above, With resentment in their eyes
Bm
G
Running back from the mid-morning light, there's a burning in my heart
A
Bm
We're banished from a time in a fallen land, to a life beyond the stars
Em
Bm
In your darkest dreams see to believe, our destiny is time
G
A
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight
D
A
G
And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
Bm
A
G
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Bm
G
Bm
D
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Em
A
Day after day this misery must go on
G
Bm
So far away we wait for the day
A
F#m
For the light source so wasted and gone
G
Bm
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
A
Bm
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
Bm
G
Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
A
D
We fought so hard now can we understand
Bm
G
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
A
F#
For freedom of every man
G
Bm
So far away we wait for the day
A
F#m
For the light source so wasted and gone
G
Bm
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
