Intro:  Cm

Cm
You must listen to this story 
Pay attention to this tale
For you to bathe in glory 
            G         Cm
You must be doomed to fail
Fm
Let you in on no secret
Give yourself no head start
Cm
Taking in the breath is easy
              G       Cm
Making is the hardest part

Chorus:
G#                     G
This is a cause for alarm
Cm
Get on your knees and pray
G#                    G
Don't be a knight in armour
Cm
Without a beast to slay

Verse 2:
Cm
There is no dress rehearsal
There's no easy lesson learned
Better to be breathing fire
                  G       Cm
Than to have your bridges burned
Fm
Let it be your only duty
Dedicate it to your own
Cm
If you gonna fight like lion
Someone ought get murdered off

[Chorus x2]

[Interlude]   Fm        Cm      Fm      Cm     G

Cm
Fire fall upon us
And lighting shall strike the Earth
For you to reach salvation
                 G        Cm
You must value what it's worth
Fm
When there are great expectation
There is no one else to blame
Cm
You can either shoot for freedom
              G         Cm
Or you drag a ball and chain

[Chorus x2]
