C#m                         B/C#              F#m
Seasons of doubt, fear, and silent desires of life

E    A    B
Have gone by!

C#m                         B/C#                  F#m

Made me see!

C#m                   B/C#                       F#m

I am free!
[Pre-Chorus 1] A
A                         E                 B
They built up a symbol of warning to give me fear

   A                 E                         C#m
To keep me away from paradise although it's so near

  A                      E                B
Expecting I don't take a look at what is behind

A       B
Freedom calling
[Chorus 1]

It's the heart of temptation

C#m                   B/C#                     F#m
Night after night I remembered the word of the priest:

 E    A     B
"Thou shalt not!

C#m                  B/C#                 F#m
Never give in to the promises made by the beast

   E    A  B
So help me God!

C#m                  B/C#                     F#m

  E     A    B
A long, long time!

   C#m             B/C#                 F#m
Forever-eternal-salvation is what I can sell

   E   A    B
If you stay blind!"
[Pre-Chorus 2] A
    A                      E                       B
But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell

    A                       E                        C#m
And I won't believe all the stories that they always tell

A                      E                          B
I got the mind to find out what's right and what's wrong

A       B

Tell me why to wait to find our joy

E             E A    B

Your fear that makes them grow
