[Verse 1]
[Em]The last spoken will of a warrior [C]King:
"Bury me nex[G]t to m[Em]y soldiers
Set my horse free and let people sing
Of [C]their son with the [Bm]world
on [Em]his s[C]houlders
Then look to [Em]the moun[C]tains
I left my [G]grave wide [D]open."[C]
Eyes fixed on [Em]the mountains
"I was [Am]buried at dusk,
at [Bm]dawn I'll re[G]turn."

[Verse 2]
[Em]Here it comes
[C]Death undone
[Am]King [D]after [Em]King

[Verse 3]
[C]From this tomb we shall build you a throne
In your [Em]name we shall sing
[C]Light your torch,
let the flames lead you home
[Em]Long live the King!

[Verse 4]
The [Em]heart of a King can be
measured in dreams
[C]Reaching [G]the sleep of [Em]his people
A whisper of ghost saying
we'll be redeemed
From [C]our sins [Bm]he will build us [Em]a castle[C]
One day we'll be [Em]stronger,
[C]we will ride rig[G]ht besid[D]e you[C]
Until we are stronger,
[Em]we put stone[Am] upon stone
[Bm]Await your re[G]turn

[Verse 5]
[C]From this tomb we shall build you a throne
In [Em]your name we shall sing
[C]Light your torch,
let the flames lead you home
[Em]Long live the King!

[Verse 6]
The [Em]longing for sun and a
heartbreak undone
[C]Breaking the [G]back [Em]of false idols
Bring our King home,
for among us are none
Who is [C]worthy to [G]be his [Em]disciple[C]
Out there in the wasteland,
[Em]ther[C]e's something coming f[G]or us[D][C]
A call from [Em]the wasteland:
He was [Am]buried at dusk,
at [Bm]dawn he return[D]s

[Verse 7]
[Em]Here it comes
Death undone
[C]King [Em]after[C] Kin[G]g[Em][C][Am][C]

[Verse 8]
From this tomb we shall build you a throne
In [Em]your name we shall sing
[C]Light your torch,
let the flames lead you home
[Em]Long live the King!
