🤘 Verse:

  D5
Across a painted desert lies

A train of vagabonds

All that's left of what we were

It's what we have become

Once our empires glorious

But now the empire's gone

The dead gave us the time to live

And now our time is done

Pré-🤘 Chorus:

 C2
Now we are victorious
 D5
We’ve become our slaves
  Bb5
A land of hope and glory building
 C5
Graveyards for the brave

🤘 Chorus:

 D5    F5    C5      G5
Have you seen the writing on the wall
D5      F5     C5  G5
  Have you seen that writing
 D5   F5   C5       G5
Can you see the riders on the storm
Bb5          C5  Bb5
  Can you see them riding
         C5
Can you see them riding

🤘 Verse:

 D5
Holding on to jury

Is that all we ever know

Ignorance our judge and jury

All we’ve got to show
   C2
From Hollywood to Babylon
   G/B
Holy war to kingdom come
    D5
On a trail of dust and ashes

When the burning sky is done

Pré-🤘 Chorus:

  C2
A tide of change is coming
   D5
And that is what you fear
  Bb5
The earthquake is a coming
   C5
But you don’t want to hear

You’re just too blind to see

🤘 Chorus:

Have you seen the writing on the wall
D5      F5     C5  G5
  Have you seen that writing

Can you see them riding
