I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,

For a sign, a light in the sky,

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,

Left me blinded by the light,
G Am
And it started right in front of my eyes...
PART THE 2nd: 'The Vision'
INTRO: Am

And I saw a burning chariot,

And I heard the thunder rolling in,

And behold our leader on a pale horse, riding in the sky
Yeah yeah yeh
C G Am
And I saw this land a battlefield,
F Em F
With a hundred thousand men, fighting hand to hand,
C G C
And I heard the sounds of victory,
Em F G
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies, and I____
C F
I saw fire (fire), from the sky,
C F C G
I saw fire (fire), and I saw paradise, (paradise,)

And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say...

What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
Well what about us?
