[Verse 1]
G#m
   As cold as stone,
they march in darkness
  C#m                   B
Enslaving the young and killing their fathers
G#m
   But soon they'll know the path they've chosen
    C#m                        B
Has carved their faith in stone

[Pre-Chorus]
                   G#m
In blood and tears,   a thousand times
We rise against,
C#m                          B
   we'll always hold the line of reckoning

[Chorus]
E              C#m
 Red tears run down like a river
G#m
   Don't close your eyes,
it won't disappear
E                  C#m
 No fear you wanna end the pain
             G#m                          F#
Don't let go,   don't back down, hold the line,
we'll bring the reckoning

[Bridge]
G#m C#m B
         In blood and tears,
G#m
   a thousand times
We rise against,
C#m                          B
   we'll always hold the line of reckoning

[Verse 2]
G#m
   We're all alone, walking in twilight
    C#m                     B
The night has been long and so many have fallen
G#m
   Feel no remorse,
light will be breaking
    C#m                    B
Our freedom is worth it all

[Pre-Chorus]
                   G#m
In blood and tears,   a thousand times
We rise against,
C#m                          B
   we'll always hold the line of reckoning

[Chorus]
E              C#m
 Red tears run down like a river
G#m
   Don't close your eyes,
it won't disappear
E                  C#m
 No fear you wanna end the pain
             G#m                          F#
Don't let go,   don't back down, hold the line,
we'll bring the reckoning

[Interlude]
E                C#m
 I see your face,   find piece of mind
G#m
   Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning
E               C#m                G#m
 The end of war,   the great divine
              F#
We'll see the day of reckoning
G#m C#m B
         In blood and tears,
G#m
   a thousand times
We rise against,
C#m                          B
   we'll always hold the line
                   G#m
In blood and tears,   a thousand times
We rise against,
C#m                          B
   we'll always hold the line

[Outro]
G#m C#m B
         ...of reckoning
G#m C#m B
         In blood and tears,
G#m
   a thousand times
We rise against,
C#m                          B   G#m
   we'll always hold the line of reckoning
