[Intro]
C C A C A C E
[Verse 1]
F#m C#m F#m
The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred
C#m
years on
F#m C#m F#m
The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause
C#m
of the pawn
F#m C#m F#m
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece
C#m
is the same
F#m C#m F#m
The difference between us is a part of the
C#m
game
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m F#m
Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun
C#m
F#m C#m F#m
The dead are the living in the age of the
C#m
gun
F#m C#m F#m
While everyone clamors for the justice they
C#m
seek
F#m C#m F#m
The world is corrupted and the strong take
C#m
the weak
[Chorus 1]
C#m F#m E
They mold you and shape you, they watch
F#m
what you do
C#m F#m E
The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you
F#m
through
C#m F#m E F#m
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
C#m F#m E
Though they may promise, they only bring
F#m
pain
[Verse 3]
F#m C#m F#m
The future is managed, and your freedom's a
C#m
joke
F#m C#m F#m
You don't know the difference as you put on
C#m
the yoke
F#m C#m F#m
The less that you know the more you fall
C#m
into place
F#m C#m F#m
A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in
C#m
your face
[Chorus 2]
C#m F#m E F#m
Run for the cover, Millennium's here
C#m F#m E F#m
Bearing the standard of confusion and fear
C#m F#m E F#m
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
C#m F#m E
Though they may promise, they only bring
F#m
pain
[Bridge]
C#m B A
A# F A# F B D
C#m B A
Blood in the sand, a cry in the street,
A# F A# F B D
Now the cycle is nearly complete
C#m B A
Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned,
A# F A# F B D
No turning back, now the wheel has turned
[Verse 4]
F#m C#m F#m
Big Brother is watching and he likes what he
C#m
sees
F#m C#m F#m
A world for the taking, when he's ready to
C#m
squeeze
F#m C#m F#m
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece
C#m
is the same
F#m C#m F#m
The difference between us is a part of the
C#m
game
[Chorus 3]
C#m F#m E F#m
Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies
C#m F#m E
What is this madness that is filling the
F#m
skies
C#m F#m E F#m
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
C#m F#m E
Though they may promise, they only bring
F#m
pain
