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