verse 1 
G                   G         G 
In these times of wanting prophesy 
      C        D                         Em         Em 
And false witnesses up to all manner of deviltry 
           C 
Drench a kitchen rag in heretic's blood 
            D 
Wash your windows and prepare for the flood

verse 2 
G                G                G               G 
Portents in the sky say that the time is near 
C               D                Em 
Dial into the signal, coming in loud and clear 
     C 
Sacrificial victims out of the cage 
D 
Smiling as they're taking the stage

Bridge 
           Am                 Em 
Out of the blue, everything's new 
Am                              Em      G 
     All the talk we heard was true 
     Am 
The legends we all heard once 
      D 
The whispers from the storefronts

verse 3 
             Am 
Hope for the best 
                 G 
Prepare for the worst 
    C                     D                   Em 
We wait like stock-piled landmines, ready to burst 
 C 
Wait all your life to see what you see 
 D 
Open up your eyes and be free
