[Intro]
C Em C Em B
[Verse 1]
Em D B Em
And so we lay under the moon
Em D B Em
The stars have crossed our paths tonight
Em D B Em
So journey on our wandering souls
Em D B C
Let our tears fall on our own
Em G D B
Against the sun, there are shapes in the fire
Em D C#m
Around the stars are blue and grey
C Bm
Halos, forever
Em
Into the light
[Instrumental]
Em F Em F x2
[Verse 2]
Em D Bm Em
A pathway, silvered and untold
D Bm Em
A frozen river, a river of souls
D Bm Em
Let your tears fall on the ice
D Bm C
In the shadow of the Gods
Em
Somewhere there is hope
G D Bm
In this heartless world together
Em D C#m
To come again on this new earth
C Bm
Once more, forever, evermore
[Chorus]
C G
Journey on
B Em
Beyond the stars
C G B Em
Our weary souls, the road is long
C G B Em
We live in shadows of the Gods
D C#m C Bm
The sunlit homeland is not far
[Verse 3]
Bm G
Absolute night, in absolute zero
Bm
The universe stops
G
A foetus in vitro
Bm G
I have a river of souls underfoot
Bm G
One drop creates the light
G Bm
One drop will fill the night
[Riff]
Bm D Bm D x4
[Bridge]
Bm D Bm D
I need a necromancer, that science has no use
Bm D
I need your skill to raise the veil
Bm
Sanctify release
Bm D
A sacrifice at midnight
Bm D
Do what must be done
Bm D
I need your help to save them all
Bm
Save my only son
[2nd Chorus]
F E F E
This is my world, world of the dead
F E F E
This is my life, world of the dead
[Riff]
Bm D Bm x2
[Verse 4]
Bm D
Before a body had grown cold
Bm D
You were there to steal its soul
Bm D
The son is dead, he told me so
Bm
I gave him peace, he is let go
Bm D
So now a double threat unfolds
Bm D
And purgatory awaits
Bm D
The treble headed hellhound barks
Bm
And opens up the gates
[2nd Chorus]
F E F E
Look at your life, world of the dead
F E F E
This is your life, world of the dead
F E F E
You have no life, world of the dead
F E F
World of the dead
[Solo]
Em D G Bm x4
[Outro]
Em D G Bm Em
We open up the temple Gates
D G Bm
Light the crucible again
Em D G Bm Em
We watch the phoenix rise in fire
D G Bm
Burning by the ritual flame
Em D G
So lay me down
Bm Em
In the Shadow of the Gods
