Keyboard arr. for guitar:
(D) G
I have mem'ry and awareness, but I have no shape or form.
Em Bm
As a disembodied spirit, I am dead and yet unborn.
G D
I have passed into Olympus, as was told in tales of old.
A D
To the City of Immortals, marble white and purest gold.
A
I see the Gods in battle rage on high,
C
Thunderbolts across the sky.
F
I cannot move, I cannot hide.
E
I feel a silent scream begin inside.
[Riff 1] x4 w/ lyrics:
Then all at once the chaos ceased.
A stillness fell, a sudden peace.
The Warriors felt my silent cry and stayed their struggle, mystified.
[Riff 1] x1

Apollo was astonished; Dionysus thought me mad.

But they heard my story further, and they wondered, and were sad.

Looking down from Olympus on a world of doubt and fear.

Its surface splintered into sorry hemispheres.
[Guitar Solo] - As in previous solo, there may be some legato hand
sliding that sounds like pick sliding.
