Bm Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
Am I hear them coming, day and night, I hear them drumming Am 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 Cmaj7 Eventually
[Verse 2]
Am A new call to prayer in every town and every square Am All blown to hell, death to the infidel Bm Cmaj7 And we'll all go down on our knees Bm Cmaj7 Won't we all go down on our knees Cmaj7 Eventually
[Verse 3]
Am Death knells are tolling, seven seals are broken open Am The end is nigh, blood streaked across the sky Bm Cmaj7 And we'll all go down on our knees Bm Cmaj7 Won't we all go down on our knees Am Eventually
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Am Markets collapsing, damn your one begotten son Am Bad imitators, Holy Joes, and space invaders C All go down on our knees Am Won't we all go down on our knees Am Eventually
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 C Em I took the way open to drowning men D F#m Drawn by the currents, blown by the wind Fmaj7 C Em Armed to the teeth, here come the holy men
[Interlude]
Am Cmaj7 Bm C
[Verse 5]
Am Pandemic, famine, war, privation, mass migration Am Four horsemen riding, knights of the apocalypse Bm Cmaj7 We'll all go down on our knees F#m C Won't we all go down on our knees C Eventually
[Verse 6]
Am Hijabs are burning, Roe V. Wade keeps overturning Am It's women's hour, storm the mighty halls of power Bm C We'll all go down on our knees F#m C Won't we all go down on our knees C Eventually
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 C Em D I took the way open to drowning men F#m F 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 D A Throw your arms 'round me D A Throw your arms to heaven A Give, and you will receive D A Throw your arms to heaven D A Throw your arms 'round me D A Throw your arms to heaven A Die for what we believe
