Intro:

Am Dm/A 4x

A7sus4 A7

Dm       F7sus4      Dm       Gm Gm7/F EbMaj7
Fifty thousand men were sent to do the will of one.
Dm              F7sus4      Dm         GbMaj7
His claim was phrased quite simply, though he never voiced it loud,
 Fm7 Ebm7   Db Gb Bb/F
I am he, the chosen one.

  Dm         F7sus4     Dm         Gm Gm7/F EbMaj7
In his name they could slaughter, for his name they could die.
Dm            F7sus4       Dm        GbMaj7
Though many there were believed in him, still more were sure he lied,
  Fm7   Ebm7   Db Gb Bb/F
But they'll fight the battle on.

        C       Bb/F
Then one whose faith had died
         C       Bb/F
Fled back up the mountainside,
        C       Bb/F
But before the top was made,
      Am7        Gm7
A misplaced footfall made him stray
     Gm   F7      DbMaj7
From the path prepared for him.
      Fm    Bbm6
Off of the mountain,
    Dbdim     F
On to a wilderness of ice.

   Dm     F7sus4      Dm          Gm  Gm7/F EbMaj7
This unexpected vision made them stand and shake with fear,
  Dm       F7sus4        Dm          GbMaj7
But nothing was his fright compared with those who saw him appear.
  Fm7 Ebm7     Db  Gb  Bb/F
Terror filled their minds with awe.

        C       Bb/F
Simple were the folk who lived
     C      Bb/F
Upon this frozen wave.
         C         Bb/F
So not surprising was their thought,
      Am7        Gm7
This is he, gods chosen one,
   Gm   F7      DbMaj7
Who's come to save us from
     Fm    Bbm6
All our oppressors.
      Dbdim     AbMaj7 Fm7 AbMaj7 Fm7
We shall be kings on this world.

Ab     Fm7
Follow me!
Db
I'll play the game you want me,
Gb7           Ab  Fm7 Ab Fm7
Until I find a way back home.

Ab     Fm7
Follow me!
Db
I give you strength inside you,
Gb7
Courage to win your battles

B/Eb Db/Eb Cm/F Cm/F B/Eb Db/Eb Cm/F
No,  no,  no, this can't go  on,
Cm/F B/Eb Db/Eb Cm/F Cm/F     Cm
This will be  all that I fled from.
    Cm     G
Let me rest for a while.

G Em6 GMaj7 Em6 GMaj7 A7/G GMaj7 C#m7b5

         Dm
He walked into a valley,
   C
All alone.
     Cm7     Bbm    Ebadd9    F
There he talked with water, and then with the vine.

Am Dm/A 4x
A7sus4 A7

Am  Dm         F7sus4     Dm     Gm  Gm7/F EbMaj7
They travelled cross the plateau of ice, up to its edge.
Dm         F7sus4       Dm      GbMaj7
Then they crossed a mountain range and saw the final plain.
   Fm7 Ebm7   Db Gb Bb/F
Still he urged the people on.

      C       Bb/F
Then, on a distant slope,
        C       Bb/F
He observed one without hope
         C       Bb/F
Flee back up the mountainside.
         Am7        Gm7
He thought he recognised him by his walk,
  Gm   F7      DbMaj7
And by the way he fell,
      Fm    Bbm6
And by the way he
       Dbdim     F
Stood up, and vanished into air.
