[Intro] | | | 4x [Verse 1] Wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist I foll--ow Walking in a dark world that’s been Kissed with sad--ness Without sunlight things are born To the dead of nightmares Soulless demons laugh--ing in a sea of mad--ness [Verse 2] Listen clo--sely to the raven’s call Praying hard for our world not to end Try as might to make sense of it all Will it be for the penance of men Follow north for the call of the wild Look all out for a small wayward child Lay in fear as the dark raven crows Look for gui-dance from the one who knows [Pre-Chorus] He lived on this earth for a time and a half Playing a tune to the old man’s laugh The fear that’s inside the men of the oath In the script of the book that he wrote [Chorus] Ask them the questions Tell them no lies A cry for freedom Praying that they wouldn’t die Mind over matter Cry over sins Their lives are over now Ended before they begin [Instrumental] |E5 |E5 | 4x [Verse 2] As the ra---ven again passes by I can hear all the wake fathers cry That the first born of all men will die That their lives will be taken from them Face the dan---ger a battle of wills Strength and cou---rage a cure for all ills We beli---eve in that thou shall not kill But o---thers are ready to spill [Pre-Chorus] The hearts of all men since beginning of time Living with temptation Wanting and crime A walk in the shadow of the valley of death Knowing I’ll take my last breath [Chorus] Ask them the questions Tell them no lies A cry for freedom Praying that they wouldn’t die Mind over matter Cry over sins Their lives are over now Ended before they begin [Instrumental] |E5 |E5 | 4x | | | | | | | | 2x [Pre-Chorus] The hearts of all men since beginning of time Living with temptation Wanting and crime A walk in the shadow of the valley of death Knowing I’ll take my last breath [Chorus] Ask them the questions Tell them no lies A cry for freedom Praying that they wouldn’t die Mind over matter Cry over sins Their lives are over now Ended before they begin [Instrumental] |E5 |E5 | 4x | |Asus2 Gsus2 | 4x | |Cadd9 Asus2 | |Cadd9 | 2x [Verse 3] Into the valley of death fear no evil We will go forward no matter the cost Into the valley of death follow me now Bring me your souls and I’ll make it our last [Instrumental] | |Cadd9 Asus2 | |Cadd9 | 2x | | 3x | | [Chorus] Ask them the questions Tell them no lies A cry for freedom Praying that they wouldn’t die Mind over matter Cry over sins Their lives are over now Ended before they begin [Ending] |E5 |E5 | 4x
