[Intro] G D Db C A7 D D7 [Verse 1]
      G                  G/B      C
Have you seen the rivers of the blood?

         A                D
First a trickle, then a flood

       G                    C
First the ocean's pounding roar,

        F          A7              D
Then a tidal wave hits upon the shore.

             G                C
Knives and arrows fell like rain,

         A             D
And the powder burst aflame,

         G                    C
And the flames they flew so high

              F       A7             D
Dropped their poison down from the sky.
[Chorus]
G                     Bm
In the shadow of the bygone days

Am                  D
Millions died in a million ways.

G                       Bm
Now the whining of the missile's call:

Am                          D
It's time to rise or it's time to fall,
[Verse 2]
         G                      C
For now one million bombs are stored,

          A                      D
But they keep building more and more.

G                           C
Can't you hear the warning sound?

           F            A7                    D
Don't you know there's still time to turn around?
[Chorus]
G                     Bm
In the shadow of the bygone days

Am                  D
Millions died in a million ways.

G                       Bm
Now the whining of the missile's call:

Am                          D
It's time to rise or it's time to fall,
[Verse 3]
         G                      C
For now one million bombs are stored,

       A                     D
They keep building more and more.

G                           C
Can't you hear the warning sound?

           F            A7                    D
Don't you know there's still time to turn around?

           F            A7                    D
Don't you know there's still time to turn around?

         G           C     G
To turn around
