Em                    D 
The wall on which the prophets wrote 
Am              B+  B 
Is cracking at the seams 
Em                    D 
Upon the instruments of death 
Am              B+  B 
The sunlight brightly gleams 
Em                    D 
When every man is torn apart 
Am              B+  B 
With nightmares and with dreams 
Em                    D 
Will no one lay the laurel wreath 
Am              B+  B 
As silence drowns the screams 

Em                      Bm 
Confusion will be my epitaph 
Em                      Bm 
As I walk a cracked and broken path 
Em                      Bm 
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh 
C                       Bm 
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying 
C                       Bm 
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying 
C                       Bm 
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying 

Em                    D 
Between the iron gates of fate 
Am              B+  B 
The seeds of time were sown 
Em                    D 
And watered by the deeds of those 
Am              B+  B 
Who know and who are known 
Em                    D 
Knowledge is a deadly friend 
Am              B+  B 
When no one sets the rules 
Em                    D 
The fate of all mankind I see 
Am              B+  B 
Is in the hands of fools
