N.C.               |  G
It's a sin that some how
          C             Em         D     G5   G                C
Light is changing to shadow, and casting its shroud over all we have know
Em              C           G       Em            G        C
unaware how the ranks have grown, driven on by a heart of stone,
G                        C    Em          D     G5    G        Em      D 
we could find that we're all alone in the drea of the proud  On the wings of
 G                  C            Em                  D        G         
the night   As the day time is stirring, where the speachless unite in a 
C              Em                    C         G       Em                G
silent accord, using words you will find as strange, mesmerized as they light
   C         G                    C    Em       D       G           
the flame, Feel the new wind of change on the wings of the night



The bridge is a distorted gutar playing these chords

E5   D   Cadd9   C5    D5    Em     D    A5  (B note on fifth string)

(A note on fifth string) C5 C#5/D5/A5  A5   Am   C  C#5/D5/A  E5

/ = Slide up to next chord    = slide down to next chord



  Em       D     G5              C            Em
No more turning away,  from the weak and the weary, 


         D         G5           C
No more turning away from the coldeness inside.

Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away
