[Intro] Am G C D F G Am G Am G C D F G Am F/A G/A Am Am F/A G/A Am [Verse] Am F/A Cold as steel, the darkness waits
G/A Am
its hour will come Am F/A A cry of fear from our children
G/A Am
worshipping the sun Am F/A G/A Mother nature's black revenge on those
Am
who wasted her life Am F/A War babies in the garden of
G/A Am
Eden shall turn our ashes to ice [Chorus] E G A Sunrise has gone freezing up the fires E Sunrise has gone G D Numbing our desires Am F/A G/A Am Am F/A G/A Sunrise has gone Am Sunrise has gone [Verse]
Am F/A Around the world the people stop with
G/A Am
terror stricken eyes Am F/A A shadow cast upon them all to
G/A Am
crush them like a fly Am F/A In the icy rain and whiplashed seas,
G/A Am
there's nowhere left to run Am F/A The hammer blows of winter fall
G/A Am
like a hurricane [Chorus]
E G A Sunrise has gone freezing up the fires E Sunrise has gone G D Numbing our desires [Bridge] Am G Around the world the nations wait C D For some wise word from their leading light F G You know it's not only madmen
Am G
who listen to fools Am G "Is this the end?" the millions cried C D Clutching their riches as they died F G Those who survive must weather the storm [Solo] Em C D Em C D Em C D Em C D F# G F# G F# G F# [Bridge]
Dm Am C G Gone are the days when man looked down Dm Am C G They've taken away his sacred crown Dm Am C G To be so free, it took so long Dm Am It's not journey's end,
C G
it's just begun [Outro] Am G C D F G Am G Am G C D F G Am G
