Blind Guardian

   Ami                        G            Ami 
It cannot be seen but there's blood on the green
Only God knows I'm innocent
C        G
Take me, take me home
Ami
A dark seed reigns in me like the Storm rules over the sea
                         C          G
I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone

Ami
Don't dare me now
G                                 Ami G
The threatening shadows will pass by    

                Ami
They're getting closer now
G
Open your eyes
           Ami
Wake up my dear young friend
    G
And hate shall fade away

Ami              D
I will not move, yet
Ami        Gmi   Ami
I'll stand still instead

G#                          C
There on the battlefield he stands
                             G#
Down on the battlefield he's lost
                          C
And on the battlefield it ends

C       G#          C
War and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
C                   G#     G
By blindness you're driven insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
C            G#            C
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
    C             G#        G
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore

    Cmi                       G 
The field's been left in sor row
    Cmi                         B 
The father and the son they're gone
    Cmi        Gmi        Dmi   D#mi Dmi 
The Sun shines bright and anger ri ses
Cmi      Gmi    Dmi  D#mi
Lorn and lonely torn apart
Cmi       Gmi        Fmi     G#   G
Don't you think it's time to stop now
Cmi     G           G#mi                        C
We were charmed and fooled by the old serpent's kiss

C     B         F                G
Let's pray that heaven is on our side
        G#           D#           B      C
Through violence and horror shall honour arise
   G#    D#       Bm                   C
So let's pray and blessed shall be our leader
   G#         Cmi       B
We follow the noble and bright

Cmi               B   C
Don't you hear me cry ing, crying
     Cmi
Come take me away
             Cmi
I hallow thy name

There on the battlefield...

War and anger....

D#mi
That's what the minstrel sing
D#mi
Join in the horrible screams
D#mi
Take part in murderous deeds
F#              C#
Renowned be the lion-hearted

Join in the minstrelsy
Wailing in endless grief
It eagerly longs for more
Broken bodies lay down on the ground

Cmi                      G#mi
Blood sheds all over the place
    Cmi                   B
The green will be stained forever
    Cmi                      G#mi
And hate reigns all over the field
     Cmi                   B
They keep struggling on in anger

G#       B           D#
Fiercely intense out rageous, too blind to see
G#     B         D#      C  B 
And in pain they keep on singing
G#           B            Cmi
We claim the land for the highlord
G#            B            D#
God bless the land and our highlord

War and anger...
