Dm
Now Storm come closer
                 Am
Can feel you're getting near
Dm         C                 F    Am
Just stay invisible 'til its over


[Chorus]
     Bb              Gm
But still they don't know
                                Dm
They're just caught in distant memories
            C              Bb Gm
Then these fools will fade awaaaay
Dm                    C
They may not fear the fall


[Verse 1]
Dm               G
They won't be anymore
Dm             G             Dm
I hear their sileeeent singing
G                Dm
We don't fear anymore
G         Dm
We don't fear him
Dm
Now don't come closer
Dm
Stand still

Don't interfere
              C         F     Am
Don't move or things go wrong
Db5
We're trapped in twilight
Bb5                       F5
Trapped in the mind of a sacrificial king
        Db5              Bb5
And the sun won't shine here anymore
            F5
I curse the Crow

Dear old friend
                               Db5
And when the time is right for changes
          F5
We will salute you
      Db5
And a new age may begin


[Chorus]
          Bb              Gm
But still they don't know
                                Dm
They're just caught in distant memories
            C              Bb Gm 
Then these fools will fade awaaaay
Dm                    C      Dm
They may not fear the fall


[Verse 2]
G                     Dm
When all the magic is gone
G                     D
No need to carry it along

    D5
Whatever the cost
        F5
It will not be redeemed
        G5
And whatever may come
        Bb5           A5
It will not bring, relief
       D5
In the mirror
         F5
They may fail to see

What is real behind
         G5
There it ends

And there is no return
             Bb5
They will go down
     A5               Bb5
They all will have to drown
           D5
Out of the dark
         C5
Into the grey
                       Bb5
These fools will fade away
          D5
No matter what
             C5
I've come to say
                      D5
These fools will fade away
D5              C5
A storm comes closer
D5              A5           D5
Can feel you're getting near?
             C5                 F5      A5
Just stay invisible, you're no savior


[Chorus]
     Bb              Gm
But still they don't know
                                Dm
They're just caught in distant memories
            C              Bb Gm
Then these fools will fade away
Dm                    C
They may not fear the fall


[Bridge]
F5                 Db5
I know they reach out for someone
F5                  Db5
Reach out for the great unknown


[Chorus]
     Bb              Gm
But still they don't know
                                Dm
They're just caught in distant memories
            C              Bb Gm
Then these fools will fade awaaaay
Dm                    C
They may not fear the fall


[Outro]
F5
They've thought
      Db5
It is time for changes (We will salute you)
F5               Db5       Eb5
Moved on to the promised land (We will salute you)
F5          Db5
Now let it begin
                F5   Db5
They've found a new god (We will salute you)
