G C G C

Well now soon plan D

Em Em D D C C

Will be released and the sea shall rise

D D G C G C

And the skies open

G C G C

And can't you see you're in on it

Em Em D D C C

You were born though you need not have been born

D D G C G C

Here at all

G C G C

And is that not some cause

Em Em D D C C

For worship being born among these trees

D D G C G C

Though the beast is lurking

G C G C

Well Saint George, he tried

Em Em D D C C

Where he failed the sky will succeed

D D G C G C

Shall be seen the hornets

G C G C

Are you there to build a spire

Em Em D D C C

That blocks out the sky? Your doors are open

D D G C G C

But are your minds? Get down

G C G C

And if you're sane, yes I'm mad

Em Em D D C C

Him good, him bad, my knees are not bleeding

D D G C G C

From kneeling in death's cathedral

G C G C

Well now soon plan D

Em Em D D C C

Will be released and the sea shall rise

D D G C G C

And the skies open

G C G C
