[Verse 1]
G#5 E5
Looking through the keyhole
F#5 G#5
As you hear the thunder roar
G#5 E5
You see the lightning flashing
F#5 G#5
But you know not what it's for
G#5 E5
There looks to be a stallion
F#5 G#5
With a rider on it's back
E5
You have seen him pass
F#5 G#5
And know that he'll be back
E5 F#5 E5 D#5
[Verse 2]
G#5 E5
He looks to be a wizard
F#5 G#5
Or perhaps a magic man
G#5 E5
With eyes of liquid fire
F#5 E5
Golden staff within his hand
G#5 E5
And he rides above the mountains
F#5 G#5
With the secret that he holds
E5 F#5 G#5
The time has come, the people must be told
E5 F#5
[Chorus]
E5 F#5 E5
So shall it be written
F#5
So shall it be done
E5 F#5
Came the warning from the prophet
E5 F#5 G#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
E5 D#5
[Verse 3]
G#5 E5
He looked upon the thousands
F#5 G#5
That had come to hear him speak
G#5 E5
He warned them of the darkness
F#5 G#5
Of their evil and their greed
G#5 E5
But somehow they ignored him
F#5 G#5
Though their faces filled with fear
E5 F#5 G#5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
E5 F#5
[Chorus]
E5 F#5 E5
So shall it be written
F#5
So shall it be done
E5 F#5
Came the warning from the prophet
E5 F#5 G#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
E5 D#5
[Verse 4]
G#5 E5
Well his words had gone unheeded
F#5 G#5
Nothing more that could be done
G#5 E5
He returned into the mountains
F#5 G#5
From where he had begun
G#5 E5
Now he watches from the heavens
F#5 G#5
As the void is drawing near
E5 F#5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
E F# E F# E F# E D#
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
[Chorus]
E5 F#5 E5
So shall it be written
F#5
So shall it be done
E5 F#5
Came the warning from the prophet
E5 F#5 G#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
G#5 E5 F#5
[Chorus]
E5 F#5 E5
So shall it be written
F#5
So shall it be done
E5 F#5
Came the warning from the prophet
E5 F#5 G#5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
G#5 E5 F#5
