B/F# F# F#/C# C#
The iron hand it ain't no match
B/F# F# | B/F# F# |
For the iron rod

The strongest wall will crumble and fall

To a mighty God

For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
D#m F#/C# B F#/A# | C# C#6 | C#7 |
It is only He who can reduce me to tears

Don't you cry and don't you die

And don't you burn

Like a thief in the night, He'll replace wrong with right

Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow

That it passes through

That no one knew

How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice?

Will I ever learn

That there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease

Until He returns?

B/F# F# F#/C# C#
Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground

Take off your mask

He sees your deeds, He knows your needs
B/F# F# | B/F# F# F#/F |
Even before you ask
D#m F#/C# B C# F#
How long can you falsify and deny what is real?
D#m F#/C# B F#/A# | C# C#6 | C#7 F#/C# C# B |
How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal?
[ B ] B/F# F# F# F#/C# C#
Of every earthly plan that be known to man
B/F# F# | B/F# F# |
