Intro: Am F Em F G Am Em7 F 
  
  Am                         F 
I looked to the North, and I turned to the West, 
      Em                   F 
For a sign, a light in the sky, 
        G                          Am   Em7 F 
Oh, the message is clear, that the time is  near, 
      Am        Em    F 
For a leader to come again 
  
  
  Am                      F 
A circle of stones on the head of a hill, 
  Em       C     Em      F 
Tonight is where it will be, 
        G                      Am    Em  F 
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait, 
      Am        Em    F 
For a leader to come again 
      Am          Em    F 
Yes a leader will come again, 
  
  
G          Am       Am Am G Am 
For it is written, 
       Am     G       Am 
That a leader will be here, 
G          Am      Am Am G Am 
And then a vision, 
        F 
Left me blinded by the light, 
       G                            Am 
And it started right in front of my eyes...

And I saw a burning chariot,

And the four horsemen of the apocalypse, waiting on high, 
C     G                 C

With a hundred thousand men, fighting hand to hand, 
C     G                   C 
And I heard the sounds of victory, 
        Em                                                F   G

I saw fire (fire), from the sky,

I have seen to the future, and the future is here,
