[Verse 1]
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
The iron hand it ain't no match
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# |
For the iron rod
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
The strongest wall will crumble and fall
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# G/F#|
To a mighty God
Fm G#/D# C# G#/D#
For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
Fm G#/D# C# G#/C | D# D#6 | D#7 |
It is only He who can reduce me to tears
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
Don't you cry and don't you die
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# |
And don't you burn
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
Like a thief in the night, He'll replace wrong with right
C#/G# G# | D#9 G#/D# D#7 C#/D# |
When He returns (TURNAROUND)
[Verse 2]
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# |
That it passes through
C#/G# G# A#m7 D#
He unleashed His power at an unknown hour
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# G#/G |
That no one knew
Fm G#/D# C# D# G#
How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice?
Fm G#/D# C# G#/C | D# D#6 | D#7 |
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride?
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# |
Will I ever learn
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
That there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease
C#/G# G# | D#9 G#/D# D#7 C#/D# |
Until He returns?
[Verse 3]
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# |
Take off your mask
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# G#/G |
Even before you ask
Fm G#/D# C# D# G#
How long can you falsify and deny what is real?
Fm G#/D# C# G#/C | D# D#6 | D#7 G#/D# D# C# |
How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal?
[ C# ] C#/G# G# G# G#/D# D#
Of every earthly plan that be known to man
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# |
He is unconcerned
C#/G# G# G#/D# D#
He's got plans of His own to set up His throne
C#/G# G# | C#/G# G# |
When-a He returns
