[Am][A][Am][A][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]My dearest friend,
[Dm]where [Bb]have you [Dm]been?
[Asus4]You're lo[Dm]st and
nowhere [A]to [Am]be found
We all came down,
[Dm]knocked [Asus4]on your d[Dm]oor
But [Am]there was no [Asus4]light,
[A]no [Dm]sound[Am]
[Dm]No trace, what[E] could[A] have
[Asus4]taken you[A] that n[E]ight[Am]
We're scared to death,
[Adim]for what might be
[Am]For [Dm]the fate that lies ahead[Am][A][Am]
And [A]one by one
We [Dm]will go on
[Asus4]An d take each other [Am]by the[E] ha[A]nd[Am][A][Am][Eb][Am][C][Am]
[F][Dm][Eb][E][Am][Eb][F][Am][C]
[Am][F][Dm][Eb][E][Am]
Nothing will be the same
Now that I've heard his name
[Dm]While the man looked round in fear
It was whispered in my [Am]ear[C][Am]
[Em]He works in silence
[Dm]For all we know,
he might be [Am]near
Wondering who we might demand
[Adim]We held each other's hands
[Am]Pray[G] ing in the fading light
That [E]we would make it through the night
[Am]But then the darkness came
[Adim]And then we lit the flame
[Am]And [G]counting heads of all the men
We [E]warmed up once again
[Am]Awake the other night
When I heard a sound outside
[Dm]Pounding if some fight was fought
It was just as I had [Am]thought
[Em]On my doorstep,
[Dm]I found his footprint made of bl[Am]ood
Couldn't sleep that [Adim]night,
cause I was [F]bed terri[Adim]fied
[Am]The [G]truth I was about to learn
But [E]still the questions burn
[Am]While my life remains afloat
[Adim]I leave a final note
[G]To whom it may concern
To[E]night will be my turn

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Abounding at my door
[Ddim]I've heard that sound before
[Dm]The [C]struggle was in vain,
I [A]hear him roar my name
[Dm]Can there be some mistake?
[Ddim]For soon the day will break
[Dm]I ca[C]nnot comprehend,
[A]end is near the [Dm]end[Dm][Dm]
[Dm]
[Dm]He looks you in the eyes
His breath feels cold as ice
That's when you real[Dsus4]ize
[Dm]Time is...
You
