[Verse 1]
Em                         C
 A war in heaven in god's rage
                           Am
He put me in this burning cage
                   C
Holy fury locks me in
                         Em
Imprisoned by my deadly sin
                       C
Every hour the shadow king
                              Am
Wonders what his clock will bring
I've lived and loved and
            C
that's for sure
                       Em
My fatal quest forevermore

[Chorus]
     C              D
The days of future past
    G5    A5       Em
to wander on the shore
   C               D
A king without a queen
    G5    A5   Em
to die forevermore
    C             D
To wander in the wasteland
   G5     A5    Em
Immortal to the end
 C               D
Waiting for the judgement
         G5        A5   Em
But the judgement never ends

[Verse 2]
Em                             C
 Once crucified you forgave it all
                              Am
But my own life condemned to fall
                           C
Where's the glory in your name
                                 Em
My twisted soul still burns in flame
                         C
Hark you angels hear my call
                      Am
Father witness to my fall
                              C
Between the lines of sin and pain
                              Em
I walk the earth now doomed again
