Em
The writing's on the wall

                                 C
Will you go on and fool yourself?
In no time you'€™ll be done
              Am
Refusing to adjust yourself to the flow
Why walk the stoney road?
                  E
You won't get out alive

        Em
Nobody understands it, do you?
Come in and look around:
        C
Every single stroke, they say
Was worth the pain
             D
Now, in this gallery of wonder
You wonder what it's all about
                          E
Well, selling sun in the rain!
[Tobias Sammet]
 C          G                     Am
We'€™re gonna give them bite-sized harmony

   C             D                   E
Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats
[Geoff Tate]
 F#m       A             C#m
Dreams and fire - we are alchemy

Gonna make you whole again

Waste to diamonds - we are alchemy

                 D
No one to be left in need

        D
We're gilding their reality
E D E G D A [Tobias Sammet]
 Em
We gotta keep 'em dancing

                           C
While tears pour out of blackened skies
Another shade of drama
                           Am
Spectators weeping over cries

            Am
That broken heroes

Am
Drag from crazy minds

Am
And by the way, now:
[Both]
Em
They who pay the piper call the tune at last
[Tobias Sammet]
   C
Knowing what you wanna give
And what is gonna do
 D
Feeding on desire
The spectres shall arise
                           E
Right in front of their eyes
D [Geoff Tate]
   C         G                Am
We're gonna give them perfect harmony

 C               D                      E
Oh, we're gonna shove it down their throats
[Both]
