[Verse 1]
F5 C#5
Looking through the keyhole
D#5 F5
As you hear the thunder roar
F5 C#5
You see the lightning flashing
D#5 F5
But you know not what it's for
F5 C#5
There looks to be a stallion
D#5 F5
With a rider on it's back
C#5
You have seen him pass
D#5 F5
And know that he'll be back
C#5 D#5 C#5 C5
[Verse 2]
F5 C#5
He looks to be a wizard
D#5 F5
Or perhaps a magic man
F5 C#5
With eyes of liquid fire
D#5 C#5
Golden staff within his hand
F5 C#5
And he rides above the mountains
D#5 F5
With the secret that he holds
C#5 D#5 F5
The time has come, the people must be told
C#5 D#5
[Chorus]
C#5 D#5 C#5
So shall it be written
D#5
So shall it be done
C#5 D#5
Came the warning from the prophet
C#5 D#5 F5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
C#5 C5
[Verse 3]
F5 C#5
He looked upon the thousands
D#5 F5
That had come to hear him speak
F5 C#5
He warned them of the darkness
D#5 F5
Of their evil and their greed
F5 C#5
But somehow they ignored him
D#5 F5
Though their faces filled with fear
C#5 D#5 F5
So he turned away and shed a single tear
C#5 D#5
[Chorus]
C#5 D#5 C#5
So shall it be written
D#5
So shall it be done
C#5 D#5
Came the warning from the prophet
C#5 D#5 F5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Main]
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
C#5 C5
[Verse 4]
F5 C#5
Well his words had gone unheeded
D#5 F5
Nothing more that could be done
F5 C#5
He returned into the mountains
D#5 F5
From where he had begun
F5 C#5
Now he watches from the heavens
D#5 F5
As the void is drawing near
C#5 D#5
And the prophet's words are ringin'
C# D# C# D# C# D# C# C
All too clear, all too clear, all too clear
[Guitar Solo]
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
[Chorus]
C#5 D#5 C#5
So shall it be written
D#5
So shall it be done
C#5 D#5
Came the warning from the prophet
C#5 D#5 F5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Instrumental]
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
F5 C#5 D#5
[Chorus]
C#5 D#5 C#5
So shall it be written
D#5
So shall it be done
C#5 D#5
Came the warning from the prophet
C#5 D#5 F5
And it came to pass before the rising sun
[Outro]
F5 C#5 D#5
