Em         D       B     Em
And so we lay under the moon

Em               D         B         Em
The stars have crossed our paths tonight

Em           D      B          Em
So journey on our wandering souls

Em         D      B        C
Let our tears fall on our own

             Em              G            D    B
Against the sun, there are shapes in the fire

             Em       D         C#m
Around the stars are blue and grey

C         Bm
Halos, forever

          Em
Into the light
[Instrumental] Em F Em F x2 [Verse 2]
Em          D        Bm    Em
A pathway, silvered and untold

          D        Bm        Em
A frozen river, a river of souls

          D        Bm       Em
Let your tears fall on the ice

         D    Bm      C
In the shadow of the Gods

                    Em
Somewhere there is hope

         G                 D      Bm
In this heartless world together

           Em      D       C#m
To come again on this new earth

      C       Bm
Once more, forever, evermore
[Chorus]
 C       G
Journey on

   B         Em
Beyond the stars

     C         G      B       Em
Our weary souls, the road is long

    C        G     B       Em
We live in shadows of the Gods

      D      C#m   C             Bm
The sunlit homeland is not far
[Verse 3]
Bm             G
Absolute night, in absolute zero

      Bm
The universe stops

   G
A foetus in vitro

Bm                 G
I have a river of souls underfoot

Bm                    G
One drop creates the light

G                        Bm
One drop will fill the night
[Riff] Bm D Bm D x4 [Bridge]
   Bm               D        Bm              D
I need a necromancer, that science has no use

   Bm                           D
I need your skill to raise the veil

Bm
Sanctify release

  Bm                    D
A sacrifice at midnight

Bm                   D
Do what must be done

   Bm                          D
I need your help to save them all

 Bm
Save my only son
[2nd Chorus]
F           E       F           E
This is my world, world of the dead

F           E       F           E
This is my life, world of the dead
[Riff] Bm D Bm x2 [Verse 4]
   Bm                    D
Before a body had grown cold

Bm                           D
You were there to steal its soul

    Bm                      D
The son is dead, he told me so

   Bm
I gave him peace, he is let go

   Bm                     D
So now a double threat unfolds

     Bm                D
And purgatory awaits

      Bm                       D
The treble headed hellhound barks

     Bm
And opens up the gates
[2nd Chorus]
F             E       F           E
Look at your life, world of the dead

F             E     F            E
This is your life, world of the dead

F            E       F           E
You have no life, world of the dead

F              E    F
World of the dead
[Solo] Em D G Bm x4 [Outro]
Em   D    G     Bm     Em
We open up the temple Gates

           D         G     Bm
Light the crucible again

Em   D         G      Bm      Em
We watch the phoenix rise in fire

           D            G    Bm
Burning by the ritual flame

Em   D     G
So lay me down

        Bm            Em
In the Shadow of the Gods
