Iron Maiden - Revelations

^AmO God of Earth and Altar,^{F G}Bow down ^C and hear our cry, ^{Am Am}Our earthly ^C rulers falter, ^{F G}Our people drift and die,^{Am Am}The walls of gold entomb us,^{F G}The swords of scorn divide^{Am Am}Take not thy thunder from us,^{F G}But take away our pride^{Am F C}

^AmJust a babe in a black abyss,^{F C}No reason for a place like this.^{E Am}The walls are cold and souls cry^F out in pain^C. ^AmAn easy way for the blind to go,^{F C}A clever path for the fools who ^G know. ^AmThe Secret of the Hangman,^{F C}The smile on his lips.^{G Am}The light of the Blind ^DYou'll see, ^FThe venom that ^Gtears my spine,^{Am Am}The Eyes of the ^DNile are opening^{F G Am}You'll see. ^{F C G}

^AmShe came to me with a serpents ^F kiss, ^CAs the Eye of the Sun rose on her ^G lips. ^AmMoonlight catches ^F silver tears I ^C cry. ^AmSo we lay in a black embrace, ^{F C}And the Seed is sown in a holy place,^{G Am}And I watched and I waited for ^{F C} the Dawn. ^{G Am}The light of the Blind You'll see,^{D F}The venom that^G tears my spine^Am The Eyes of the ^DNile are ^Fopening ^{G Am}You'll see.

^AmBind us all togeth^Fer, ^GAblaze with ^C Hope and Free.^{Am Am}No storm or heavy weather,^{F G}Will rock the ^Dboat you'll see.^{Am Am}The time has come to close your eyes^F, ^GAnd still the wind^C and rain^{Am Am}For the one who will be King, ^{F G} Is the watch^Ger in the Ring. ^{Am F C Am}It is You. ^{F C Am} It is You!
