[Verse 1]
E5 Standing alone in the wind and rain D5 Feeling the fear that is growing E5 Sensing the change in the tide again D5 Brought by the storm that is brewing B5 C5 Feel the anxiety hold off the fear D5 E5 Some of the doubt in the things you believe B5 C5 Now that your faith will be put to the test D5 E5 Nothing to do but await what is coming
[Verse 2]
E5 Why is then God still protecting me D5 Even when I don't deserve it? E5 Though I am blessed with an inner strength D5 Some, they would call it a penance B5 C5 Why am I meant to face this alone? D5 E5 Asking the question time and again B5 C5 Praying to God won't keep me alive D5 E5 Inside my head feel the fear start to rise
[Verse 3]
E5 They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes E5 There'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day C5 And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes C5 D5 E5 They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away
[Chorus]
C The sign of the cross G D Am The name of the rose C A fire in the sky G E5 The sign of the cross
[Verse 6]
E5 They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame E5 They'll be bringing us all immortality C5 Holding comunion so the world be blessed D5 E5 My creator, my God, lay my soul to rest
[Chorus]
C The sign of the cross G D Am The name of the rose C A fire in the sky G E5 The sign of the cross
