[Verse 1]
          Em
When the moon will rise again
                                G   F
Until we read the Parthian skin
        Em                               G   F
Broken fears warring days are here again
         Em
'Fore we all to dust descend
                                G   F
Heaven knows when life will end
         Em                               G   F
God to know in the mire, put out the fire
 
 
[Verse 2]
           Em
Know there is a cross to bear
                             G
In your primal quest of fear
        F   Em                  G
No quarter now is given no less
   F      Em
Aslumber was my main ideal
                            G
Asunder did my spirit steal
  F        Em                            G
Sceptered race uttered words in disgrace
 
 
[Verse 3]
  F      Em
Sweet revenge will be ours
                             G
Vengeance of a shaken world
 F      Em                            G
Just remember that patience is no sin
     F  Em
And to find another way
                            G
Live to breathe another day
 F       Em                               G   F
Lord of light in the darkness, our guide

A betrayal of angels in a foreign land

A revenge for the merciful destiny at hand
