   Am
It cannot be seen

            Am
But there's blood on the green

     Am
Only god knows I'm innocent

C        G       Am
Take me, take me home

  Am
A dark seed reigns in me

Am
Like the storm rules over the sea

Am                       C          G       Am
I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone

      Am
Don't dare me now

G               D                 Am G F
The threatening shadows will pass by

They're getting closer now

G         D
Open your eyes

                Am
Wake up my dear young friend

    G          F   G Am
And hate shall fade away

Am               C D C D
I will not move, yet

I'll stand still, instead

And on the battlefield it ends

A shattered body deeply hurt
