Am
I hear them coming, day and night, I hear them drumming

They're drawing nearer, coming to take over

                             C
And we'll all go down on our knees

         F#m    Am          Cmaj7
Won't we all go down on our knees

Eventually
[Verse 2]
Am
A new call to prayer in every town and every square

Am
All blown to hell, death to the infidel

And we'll all go down on our knees

         Bm                 Cmaj7
Won't we all go down on our knees

Death knells are tolling, seven seals are broken open

Am
The end is nigh, blood streaked across the sky

And we'll all go down on our knees

Markets collapsing, damn your one begotten son

Bad imitators, Holy Joes, and space invaders

All go down on our knees

Won't we all go down on our knees

I took the way open to drowning men

Drawn by the currents, blown by the wind

Armed to the teeth, here come the holy men
[Interlude] Am Cmaj7 Bm C [Verse 5]

Pandemic, famine, war, privation, mass migration

Four horsemen riding, knights of the apocalypse

Hijabs are burning, Roe V. Wade keeps overturning

It's women's hour, storm the mighty halls of power

We'll all go down on our knees

         F#m                C
Won't we all go down on our knees

I took the way open to drowning men

Drawn by the currents, blown by the wind

                          C    Em
Only nature rules with an iron hand
[Interlude] Am [Bridge]
A          D       A
Throw your arms to heaven

Throw your arms to heaven
