[Verse 1]
F#         C#          D#m
Trying to pantomime surprise
Fdim     A#               B
After we buried you at sunrise
     B                G#m           F#
With nothing you'd predicted coming true
     F#              A#                B
Just doing what we'd promised you we'd do
B            G#m    G#7
Not ready anymore

Late for the war

Who would prepare for peace, take up the sword

Waiting for the armies of the Lord

Even if we found the world again
Fdim         A#                 B
Haircuts and clean clothes, and what then:
B             G#m                  F#
Sew ourselves clean back into the fold?
F#               A#                   B
Remember 'til we don't, and then grow old?
B            F#      G#m
Not ready to go that way
G#7                       C#
What would our old friend say?
 
 
[Chorus]
F#                    G#7               B
Who goes without will find some great reward
B               C#            D#m
Waiting for the armies of the Lord
 
 
[Bridge]
D#7                    B
And even if they never come (Even if they never come)
B                F#    G#7               C#
Stay here by the fire, listening for the drum

[Verse 3]
F#                   C#    D#m
In the world but not of it anymore
Fdim        A#                B
Starving to death down by the shore
B           G#m                F#
Prehistoric insects trapped in ice
F#          G#7              B
Letting the hunger claim its price
B          D#m               G#m
Sixteen to three now down to two
G#7                 C#
Soon, it'll just be you
 
 
[Chorus]
F#        G#7              B
Raise the flag and cut the cord
F#   G#7                 B
All aboard that's going aboard (All aboard, all aboard)

Waiting for the armies of the Lord
