[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][C][Am][Dm][C]
[Am][C][G][Am][G][Gsus4]
[Am][Dm]
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]The sparks of the tempest [Dm]rage a hundred years on
The [Am]voice of the dreamer scream[Dm]s,
the cause of the pawn
[Am]The king and the queen are gone,
each [Dm]piece is the same
The dif[G]ference [Am]between [Dm]us

[Verse 2]
is a part of the game
[G]Darkness [Am]is spreading like
[Dm]a spot on the sun
[Am]The dead are the living [Dm]in
the age of the gun
While [Am]everyone clamors [Dm]for
the justice they seek
[Am]The world is corrupted [G]and
[Dm]the strong take the weak

[Verse 3]
They [C]mold you and shape [Dm]you,
so [Am]watch what you do
The sparks of [Dm]the tempest are
burnin' [Am]you through
[G]Spreading [Dm]like wildfire,
fallin' like [C]rain
Though they [F]may promise,
they [G]only bring pain

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 4]
Your fu[G]ture [Am]is managed and
your freedom's [Dm]a joke
[G]You don't know the differ[Am]ence
[Dm]as you put on the yoke
The [Am]less that you know,
the [Dm]more you fall [G]into [Dm]place
[Am]A cog in the wheel,
there is no soul in [Dm]your face

[Verse 5]
[C]Run for [Dm]the cover,
[Am]millennium's here
[C]Bearing [Dm]the standard of
confusion [Am]and fear
[G]Spreading like wild[Dm]fire,
fallin' [C]like rain
Though they [F]may promise,
they [G]only bring [Am]pain
[G][F][F#m][Dm][G]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
Blood in [G]the sand, a cry in [F]the street
Now [D]the cycle [Dm]is nearl[G]y comp[Am]lete
Ten thousand [G]years, nothing was [F]learned
No turning [F#m]back, [Dm]now the w[G]heels [Am]have[Em][F][C][G][Am][Em][G][F]
[C][F][Am][Em]
[G][F][C][G][Am]
[Em]turn[F]ed

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][Am][C][G][Am][C]
[G][Am][C][Am][G]
[Gsus4][G]

[Verse 7]
Big [Am]brother is watching [Dm]and
he likes what he sees
[Am]A world for the taking [Dm]and
he's ready to squeeze
The [Am]king and the queen are gone,
[G]each piece is the[Dm] same
The dif[Am]ference between us [Dm]is
a part of the game

[Verse 8]
[C]Soothsay[Dm]er saying [Am]now tell me no lies
What is [Dm]the madness that is
filling [Am]the skies?
[G]Spreading like wild[Dm]fire,
fallin' like [C]rain
Though they [F]may promise, they [G]only [Am]bring pain

[Outro 1]
