[Verse 1]
TF#mhe sparks of the tC#mempest rage a hF#mundred years C#mon
The vF#moice of the drC#meamer screams, the cF#mause of the pC#mawn
The KF#ming and the QC#mueen are gone, each pF#miece is the sC#mame
The dF#mifference betC#mween us is a pF#mart of the gC#mame
[Verse 2]
DF#markness is sC#mpreading like a sF#mpot on the sC#mun
The dF#mead are the lC#miving in the aF#mge of the gC#mun
While eF#mveryone clC#mamors for the jF#mustice they sC#meek
The wF#morld is corruC#mpted and the sF#mtrong take the wC#meak
[Chorus 1]
They mC#mold you and sF#mhape you, they wEatch what you F#mdo
The spC#marks of the tF#mempest are bEurnin' you tF#mhrough
SC#mpreading like wF#mildfire, fEallin' like rF#main
TC#mhough they may pF#mromise, they oEnly bring pF#main
[Verse 3]
TF#mhe future is mC#managed, and your fF#mreedom's a jC#moke
You dF#mon't know the dC#mifference as you pF#mut on the yC#moke
The lF#mess that you kC#mnow the more you fF#mall into pC#mlace
A cF#mog in the wC#mheel, there is no sF#moul in your fC#mace
[Chorus 2]
RC#mun for the cF#mover, MilleEnnium's hF#mere
BC#mearing the sF#mtandard of cEonfusion and fF#mear
SC#mpreading like wF#mildfire, fEallin' like rF#main
TC#mhough they may pF#mromise, they oEnly bring pF#main

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The difference between us is a part of the game

[Verse 2]

F#m C#m F#m C#m

Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The dead are the living in the age of the gun

F#m C#m F#m C#m

While everyone clamors for the justice they seek

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak

[Chorus 1]

C#m F#m E F#m

They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do

C#m F#m E F#m

The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through

C#m F#m E F#m

Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain

C#m F#m E F#m

Though they may promise, they only bring pain

[Verse 3]

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke

F#m C#m F#m C#m

You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The less that you know the more you fall into place

F#m C#m F#m C#m

A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face

[Chorus 2]

C#m F#m E F#m

Run for the cover, Millennium's here

C#m F#m E F#m

Bearing the standard of confusion and fear

C#m F#m E F#m

Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain

C#m F#m E F#m

Though they may promise, they only bring pain

[Bridge]

C#m B A A# F A# F B D

Blood in the sand, a cry in the street, Now the cycle is nearly complete

C#m B A A# F A# F B D

Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned, No turning back, now the wheel has turned

[Verse 4]

F#m C#m F#m C#m

Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees

F#m C#m F#m C#m

A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same

F#m C#m F#m C#m

The difference between us is a part of the game

[Chorus 3]

C#m F#m E F#m

Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies

C#m F#m E F#m

What is this madness that is filling the skies

C#m F#m E F#m

Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain

C#m F#m E F#m

Though they may promise, they only bring pain
