Battlefield

   Am
It cannot be seen
            Am
But there's blood on the green
     Am
Only god knows I'm innocent
C        G       Am
Take me, take me home
  Am
A dark seed reigns in me
Am
Like the storm rules over the sea
Am                       C          G       Am
I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone

      Am
Don't dare me now
G               D                 Am G F
The threatening shadows will pass by
                Am
They're getting closer now
G         D
Open your eyes
                Am
Wake up my dear young friend
    G          F   G Am
And hate shall fade away

Am               C D C D
I will not move, yet
Am                  G Am G Am
I'll stand still, instead


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F            Ab             C
There on the battlefield he stands
            Am               F
Down on the battlefield he's lost
           Ab             C
And on the battlefield it ends


[Chorus 1]
C       Ab          C
War and anger shall reign
             F
The clash of iron can be heard
   C                Ab       G
By blindness you're driven insane
                        C
I'm lost in anguish and grief
C            Ab            C
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
            F           C
A shattered body deeply hurt
    C             Ab        G
And darkness will cover the light
             G                          Cm
It's gone forevermore (it's gone forevermore)

It's time to stop now
