🤘 Verse 1:
 E5                                        G5   A5
Wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist I foll--ow
E5
Walking in a dark world that’s been
            A#5  A5
Kissed with sad--ness
E5                 G5   F#5   E5
Without sunlight things are  born
               A#5   A5
To the dead of nightmares
E5               G5    F#5  E5           C5   D5
Soulless demons laugh--ing  in a sea of mad--ness

🤘 Verse 2:
E5       G5   F#5     C5          D5
 Listen clo--sely to the raven’s call
E5       G5   F#5      C5          A5
 Praying hard for our world not to end
E5       G5   F#5      C5         D5
 Try as might to make sense of it all
B5                   C5         D5
 Will it be for the penance of men
E5       G5   F#5      C5          D5
 Follow north for the call of the wild
E5        G5  F#5     C5           A5
 Look all out for a small wayward child
E5       G5  F#5     C5          D5
 Lay in fear as the dark raven crows
E5         G5  F#5        C5           A5
 Look for gui-dance from the one who knows


🤘 Pre-Chorus:
B5                C5               D5  C5  B5
 He lived on this earth for a time and  a  half
           C5            D5  C5    B5
Playing a tune to the old   man’s laugh
                  C5           D5   C5   B5
The fear that’s inside the men of  the   oath
                      C5            D5
In the script of the book that he wrote


🤘 Chorus:
Em    G       Cmaj7
Ask them the questions
Em     G     Cmaj7
Tell them no lies
Em   G       Cmaj7
A  cry for freedom
  B5                        C5    D5
Praying that they wouldn’t die
Em   G     Cmaj7
Mind over matter
Em   G    Cmaj7
Cry  over sins
  Em   G        Cmaj7
Their lives are over now
B5                C5     D5
Ended before they begin

🤘 Verse 2:
E5      G5   F#5   C5         D5
 As the ra---ven again passes by
E5      G5  F#5      C5            A5
 I can hear all the wake fathers cry
E5         G5   F#5     C5            D5
 That the first born of all men will die
B5                         C5         D5
 That their lives will be taken from them
E5         G5   F#5    C5        D5
 Face the dan---ger a battle of wills
E5             G5   F#5     C5          A5
 Strength and cou---rage a cure for all ills
E5    G5   F#5          C5            D5
 We beli---eve in that thou shall not kill
E5   G5  F#5        C5       A5
 But o---thers are ready to spill


🤘 Pre-Chorus:
B5                 C5              D5   C5   B5
 The hearts of all men since beginning  of  time
             C5
Living with temptation
    D5  C5   B5
Wanting and crime
                C5              D5  C5   B5
A walk in the shadow of the valley  of  death
              C5            D5
Knowing I’ll take my last breath
