[Intro]
 
Em D B Em D C
Em D B Em D C
Em G A Em G A Em
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em            Bm       C
Most of this is memory now
Em            D      C         Em
I've gone too far to turn back now
                     Bm        C
I'm not quite what I thought I was but
      Em             D   C
Then again I'm maybe more
Em                      Bm     C
The blood-words promised, I've spoken
Em            Bm     C
Releasing the names from the circle
Em          Bm         C       Em
Maybe I can leave here now and oh
     G
Transcend the boundaries
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C           D
For now I'm standing here
Bm               C          A
I'm awaiting this grand transition
D                      Em
The future is but past forgotten
C      B              Em     D Em D Em D Bm G D/F# Em G A Em
You're on the road to madness
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em            Bm          C
Times measure rusts as it crawls
Em        D           C             Em
I see its face in the looking glass stop
          Bm            C
This screaming laughter hides,
    Em          D    C
the pain of its reality
Em                 Bm       C
Black the door was locked I opened
Em                     Bm    C
And now I've paid that price ten-fold over
Em               D          C      Em
Knowledge was it worth such torment, oh
           G
To see the far side of shadow
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C             D
And still I'm standing here
Bm               C          A
I'm awaiting this grand transition
D                      Em
I'm a fool in search of wisdom
C      B              Em     D Em D Em D Bm
And I'm on the road to madness
        G D/F#         Em     D Em D Em D Bm G D/F#
Yes I'm on the road to madness
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G                      A
I'm awaiting endlessly
                     Bm
Pounding rhythms echo me
          C       D
Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void
 
 
[Solo]
 
Em D B Em D C
Em D B Em D G D B
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
C             D
And still I'm standing here
Bm               C          A
I'm awaiting this grand transition
D            Em                      C
Maybe one day oh I'll meet you and we we'll
B                 Em     D Em D Em D Bm
Walk the roads to madness
          G      D/F#    Em     D Em D Em D Bm G D/F# Em
Yes we're on the road to madness
Bm                              Em
Oh I think they've come to take me
C                                      Em
I hear the voice but there's no-one to see
        Bm     G      D/F#   Em
I can't scream too late it's time

[Coda]
 
Em D Em Em D
Em D Em Em A
Em D Em Em D
Em D Em Em A
 
 
Em
Stay on the course to pass you'll never find the answer
Em
To a place where darkened angels
       D
Seemed lost and never found
Em
Scream to see the light of forming figures fast behind you
Em
Lay the past in the wind to spin
         A
And your fate will sail beyond the open plains
 
Em D Em Em D
Em D Em Em A
 
Em
Sail with angels onward live or die for the chosen one said
                                              D
Saber sights cast a spell behind you and they lock in all around
Em
Free the scene insider never looking back to find why
                                              A              B
Ride a course till the end of time and you'll stand atop the gate
B
Laying waste in a path recited
                                             G
Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing
B
Oh electric might poses fright inside me
                                         G
Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me
             A   Em
I've passed away
