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