Bm A C Em (4 times)
    Bm     A            C          Em
The sunset came and the mourners arrived 
        Bm         A          C            Em
And the pessimists all called run for your lives
    Bm       A             C      Em
And when the press arrived at the scene 
     Bm            A          C              Em
They all found themselves now trapped in the dream
    Bm       A              C         Em
And when the crowds arrived to investigate 
          Bm        A        C          Em
They were unable to see that it was too late
          Bm      A              C       Em
They were regular people who had innocently 
    Bm          A            C  Em
Let go of their souls to curiosity
      E      D A E     D           A       E  
The momentum           Carried the people away
    D        A                E         D     A           E
And only the strongest of the many Have since found their way

G D Em G D Em

       Bm  A        C        Em   Bm       A         C           Em
And by the time the rescuers came Half the world was lost in the flame
    Bm     A           C          Em
And as the flames rose higher and higher
Bm          A           C          Em           G D Em
More of the people were led to the fire
    Bm     A           C        Em
And as the sparks rose into the sky
    Bm       A             C         Em
The worriers paced and the optimists cried
    Bm      A         C        Em
And hour by hour well into the night
   Bm           A               C       Em
No end could be seen to this disastrous flight
    E     D A     E     D        A      E
And Satan     was heard Laughing with delight
        D           A            E
But the scholars of time are all wiser than he
          D        A          E                  G D Em
For there comes an end to the night
        E            D A E
And the sunrise 
   D        A     E
As promised did arrive
       D           A       E         
And it saved the remaining ones from the fire 
       D             A        D       A        E
But it just couldn't save The Devil's victim's lives
D A E D A E,   Em G D (8 times),   Bm A C Em
