[Verse 1]
C5 G#5
Looking through the keyhole
A#5 C5
As you hear the thunder roar
C5 G#5
You see the lightning flashing
A#5 C5
But you know not what it's for
C5 G#5
There looks to be a stallion
A#5 C5
With a rider on it's back
G#5
You have seen him pass
A#5 C5
And know that he'll be back
G#5 A#5 G#5 G5
[Verse 2]
C5 G#5
He looks to be a wizard
A#5 C5
Or perhaps a magic man
C5 G#5
With eyes of liquid fire
A#5 G#5
Golden staff within his hand
C5 G#5
And he rides above the mountains
A#5 C5
With the secret that he holds
G#5 A#5 C5
The time has come, the people must be told
G#5 A#5
[Chorus]
G#5 A#5 G#5
So shall it be written
A#5
So shall it be done
G#5 A#5
Came the warning from the prophet
G#5 A#5 C5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
G#5 G5
[Verse 3]
C5 G#5
He looked upon the thousands
A#5 C5
That had come to hear him speak
C5 G#5
He warned them of the darkness
A#5 C5
Of their evil and their greed
C5 G#5
But somehow they ignored him
A#5 C5
Though their faces filled with fear
G#5 A#5 C5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
G#5 A#5
[Chorus]
G#5 A#5 G#5
So shall it be written
A#5
So shall it be done
G#5 A#5
Came the warning from the prophet
G#5 A#5 C5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
G#5 G5
[Verse 4]
C5 G#5
Well his words had gone unheeded
A#5 C5
Nothing more that could be done
C5 G#5
He returned into the mountains
A#5 C5
From where he had begun
C5 G#5
Now he watches from the heavens
A#5 C5
As the void is drawing near
G#5 A#5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
G# A# G# A# G# A# G# G
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
[Chorus]
G#5 A#5 G#5
So shall it be written
A#5
So shall it be done
G#5 A#5
Came the warning from the prophet
G#5 A#5 C5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
C5 G#5 A#5
[Chorus]
G#5 A#5 G#5
So shall it be written
A#5
So shall it be done
G#5 A#5
Came the warning from the prophet
G#5 A#5 C5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
