[Intro] |E5 |E5 G5 A5 | 4x [Verse 1]
 E5                                        G5   A5
Wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist I foll--ow

E5
Walking in a dark world that’s been

            A#5  A5
Kissed with sad--ness

E5                 G5   F#5   E5
Without sunlight things are  born

               A#5   A5
To the dead of nightmares

E5               G5    F#5  E5           C5   D5
Soulless demons laugh--ing  in a sea of mad--ness
[Verse 2]
E5       G5   F#5     C5          D5
 Listen clo--sely to the raven’s call

E5       G5   F#5      C5          A5
 Praying hard for our world not to end

E5       G5   F#5      C5         D5
 Try as might to make sense of it all

B5                   C5         D5
 Will it be for the penance of men

E5       G5   F#5      C5          D5
 Follow north for the call of the wild

E5        G5  F#5     C5           A5
 Look all out for a small wayward child

E5       G5  F#5     C5          D5
 Lay in fear as the dark raven crows

E5         G5  F#5        C5           A5
 Look for gui-dance from the one who knows
[Pre-Chorus]
B5                C5               D5  C5  B5
 He lived on this earth for a time and  a  half

           C5            D5  C5    B5
Playing a tune to the old   man’s laugh

                  C5           D5   C5   B5
The fear that’s inside the men of  the   oath

                      C5            D5
In the script of the book that he wrote
[Chorus]
Em    G       Cmaj7
Ask them the questions

Em     G     Cmaj7
Tell them no lies

Em   G       Cmaj7
A  cry for freedom

  B5                        C5    D5
Praying that they wouldn’t die

Em   G     Cmaj7
Mind over matter

Em   G    Cmaj7
Cry  over sins

  Em   G        Cmaj7
Their lives are over now

B5                C5     D5
Ended before they begin
[Instrumental] |E5 |E5 | 4x [Verse 2]
E5      G5   F#5   C5         D5
 As the ra---ven again passes by

E5      G5  F#5      C5            A5
 I can hear all the wake fathers cry

E5         G5   F#5     C5            D5
 That the first born of all men will die

B5                         C5         D5
 That their lives will be taken from them

E5         G5   F#5    C5        D5
 Face the dan---ger a battle of wills

E5             G5   F#5     C5          A5
 Strength and cou---rage a cure for all ills

E5    G5   F#5          C5            D5
 We beli---eve in that thou shall not kill

E5   G5  F#5        C5       A5
 But o---thers are ready to spill
[Pre-Chorus]
B5                 C5              D5   C5   B5
 The hearts of all men since beginning  of  time

             C5
Living with temptation

    D5  C5   B5
Wanting and crime

                C5              D5  C5   B5
