The E*-thing means that you should put a finger on the 4th fret of the high e-string 
while playing a normal E (don't know if that is an actual chord)

Am                                               Am   G
   Stand in line as we march to the drums of the east,
Am
Paralyzed and possessed by crusaders deceased,
Am                                           G   Am
Lost in the silence, the call from the turbulent times.
Am            B            C              D          
  E  E*
Bound by the science that lives on? that lives on the wise.

chorus:
F     G      A
         The beating of a million drums.
F     G      A
         The fire of a million guns.
F     G      A                      G
        The mother of a million sons.
D
Civilization!

Am                                               Am
Lost in the silence, they bow to the call of the east.
G Am                                   G  Am
  Tantalized and seduced by the demons released.
Am                                               G
Ears to the ground by the name of the merciless sky.
Am        B         C           D          
E  E*
Onto the fire that burns in the all seeing eye.

CHORUS x2

Bridge:
Am     G
  The beating of a million drums.
Am     G
  The fire of a million guns.
Am    B   C           D          E
     The mother of a million sons.
E*
Civilization
