[Verse 1]
C#5 A5
Looking through the keyhole
B5 C#5
As you hear the thunder roar
C#5 A5
You see the lightning flashing
B5 C#5
But you know not what it's for
C#5 A5
There looks to be a stallion
B5 C#5
With a rider on it's back
A5
You have seen him pass
B5 C#5
And know that he'll be back
A5 B5 A5 G#5
[Verse 2]
C#5 A5
He looks to be a wizard
B5 C#5
Or perhaps a magic man
C#5 A5
With eyes of liquid fire
B5 A5
Golden staff within his hand
C#5 A5
And he rides above the mountains
B5 C#5
With the secret that he holds
A5 B5 C#5
The time has come, the people must be told
A5 B5
[Chorus]
A5 B5 A5
So shall it be written
B5
So shall it be done
A5 B5
Came the warning from the prophet
A5 B5 C#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
A5 G#5
[Verse 3]
C#5 A5
He looked upon the thousands
B5 C#5
That had come to hear him speak
C#5 A5
He warned them of the darkness
B5 C#5
Of their evil and their greed
C#5 A5
But somehow they ignored him
B5 C#5
Though their faces filled with fear
A5 B5 C#5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
A5 B5
[Chorus]
A5 B5 A5
So shall it be written
B5
So shall it be done
A5 B5
Came the warning from the prophet
A5 B5 C#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
A5 G#5
[Verse 4]
C#5 A5
Well his words had gone unheeded
B5 C#5
Nothing more that could be done
C#5 A5
He returned into the mountains
B5 C#5
From where he had begun
C#5 A5
Now he watches from the heavens
B5 C#5
As the void is drawing near
A5 B5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
A B A B A B A G#
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
[Chorus]
A5 B5 A5
So shall it be written
B5
So shall it be done
A5 B5
Came the warning from the prophet
A5 B5 C#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
C#5 A5 B5
[Chorus]
A5 B5 A5
So shall it be written
B5
So shall it be done
A5 B5
Came the warning from the prophet
A5 B5 C#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
C#5 A5 B5
