Verse 1: Sharon Den Adel:
AbmAbm
As cold as stone, they march in darkness
C# minorC#m         BB
Enslaving the young and killing their fathers
AbmAbm
But soon they'll know

The path they've chosen
  C# minorC#m          BB
Has carved their faith in stone


Pre-Chorus: Sharon Den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix:
       AbmAbm
In blood and tears, a thousand times
       C# minorC#m             BB
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line

Of reckoning


Chorus: Sharon Den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix:
E MajorE       C# minorC#m
Red tears run down like a river
AbmAbm
Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear
E MajorE         C# minorC#m
No fear you wanna end the pain
      AbmAbm
Don't let go, don't back down
     F#F#
Hold the line

We'll bring the reckoning

Verse 2: Jacoby Shaddix:
AbAb
We're all alone, walking in twilight
  C# minorC#m           BB
The night has been long and so many've fallen
AbAb
Feel no remorse, light will be breaking
  C# minorC#m         BB
Our freedom is worth it all

       AbmAbm
In blood and tears, a thousand times

Of reckoning

Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear

No fear you wanna end the pain
      AbmAbm
Don't let go, don't back down
     F#F#
Hold the line

We'll bring the reckoning


Bridge: Sharon Den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix:
E MajorE      C# minorC#m        AbmAbm
I see your face, find piece of mind

Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning
E MajorE     C# minorC#m        AbmAbm
The end of war, the great divine
       F#F#
We'll see the day of reckoning


Outro: Sharon Den Adel and Jacoby Shaddix:
       AbmAbm
In blood and tears, a thousand times
      E MajorE               BB
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
       AbmAbm
In blood and tears, a thousand times
      E MajorE               BB
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
