Verse 1:
 E5E5
Standing alone in the wind and rain
              D5D5
Feeling the fear that is growing
 E5E5
Sensing the change in the tide again
               D5D5
Brought by the storm that is brewing
 B5B5       C5C5
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
 D5D5            E5E5
Some of the doubt in the things you believe
 B5B5             C5C5
Now that your faith will be put to the test
 D5D5         E5E5
Nothing to do but await what is coming

Verse 2:
 E5E5
Why is then God still protecting me
           D5D5
Even when I don't deserve it?
 E5E5
Though I am blessed with an inner strength
              D5D5
Some, they would call it a penance
 B5B5        C5C5
Why am I meant to face this alone?
D5D5         E5E5
Asking the question time and again
 B5B5         C5C5
Praying to God won't keep me alive
D5D5            E5E5
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise


Verse 3:
      E5E5
They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
       E5E5
There'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day
     C5C5
And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes
      C5C5             D5D5  E5E5
They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away


Chorus:
         C majorC

A augmentedA fire in the sky
G+G         E5E5
 The sign of the cross


Verse 6:
      E5E5
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
       E5E5
They'll be bringing us all immortality
 C5C5
Holding comunion so the world be blessed
              D5D5   E5E5
My creator, my God, lay my soul to rest
