[Verse 1]
A#5 F#5
Looking through the keyhole
G#5 A#5
As you hear the thunder roar
A#5 F#5
You see the lightning flashing
G#5 A#5
But you know not what it's for
A#5 F#5
There looks to be a stallion
G#5 A#5
With a rider on it's back
F#5
You have seen him pass
G#5 A#5
And know that he'll be back
F#5 G#5 F#5 F5
[Verse 2]
A#5 F#5
He looks to be a wizard
G#5 A#5
Or perhaps a magic man
A#5 F#5
With eyes of liquid fire
G#5 F#5
Golden staff within his hand
A#5 F#5
And he rides above the mountains
G#5 A#5
With the secret that he holds
F#5 G#5 A#5
The time has come, the people must be told
F#5 G#5
[Chorus]
F#5 G#5 F#5
So shall it be written
G#5
So shall it be done
F#5 G#5
Came the warning from the prophet
F#5 G#5 A#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
F#5 F5
[Verse 3]
A#5 F#5
He looked upon the thousands
G#5 A#5
That had come to hear him speak
A#5 F#5
He warned them of the darkness
G#5 A#5
Of their evil and their greed
A#5 F#5
But somehow they ignored him
G#5 A#5
Though their faces filled with fear
F#5 G#5 A#5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
F#5 G#5
[Chorus]
F#5 G#5 F#5
So shall it be written
G#5
So shall it be done
F#5 G#5
Came the warning from the prophet
F#5 G#5 A#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
F#5 F5
[Verse 4]
A#5 F#5
Well his words had gone unheeded
G#5 A#5
Nothing more that could be done
A#5 F#5
He returned into the mountains
G#5 A#5
From where he had begun
A#5 F#5
Now he watches from the heavens
G#5 A#5
As the void is drawing near
F#5 G#5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
F# G# F# G# F# G# F# F
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
[Chorus]
F#5 G#5 F#5
So shall it be written
G#5
So shall it be done
F#5 G#5
Came the warning from the prophet
F#5 G#5 A#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
A#5 F#5 G#5
[Chorus]
F#5 G#5 F#5
So shall it be written
G#5
So shall it be done
F#5 G#5
Came the warning from the prophet
F#5 G#5 A#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
A#5 F#5 G#5
