Lyrics

(Dm)Fif ty thou sand men were sent

to (Bbmaj7)do the will of one.

His (Dm)claim was phrased quite sim ply,

though he (Bbmaj7)nev er voiced it loud.

I (Db)am he, the (Db)cho sen (Bbmaj7)one.

In (Dm)his name they could slaugh ter

for (Bbmaj7)his name they could die.

Though (Dm)man y there were who be lieved in him,

still (Bbmaj7)more were sure he lied.

But (Db)they’ll fight the (Db)bat tle (Bbmaj7)on.

Then one whose (C)faith had died

fled back up the (C)moun tain side.

But be fore the (C)top was made,

a mis placed (Am7)foot fall made him (Gm7)stray from the (Bbmaj7)path pre (F)pared for him

off of the (Fm)moun tain,

(Bbm)on to a (Dbdim7)wil der ness of (F)ice

This (Dm)un ex pect ed vi sion

made him (Bbmaj7)stand and shake with fear.

But (Dm)noth ing was his fright com pared with (Bbmaj7)those who saw ap pear.

Ter (Db)ror filled their (Db)minds with (Bbmaj7)awe.

Sim ple were the (C)folk who lived

up on this (C)fro zen wave.

So not sur pris ing (C)was their thought:

This is he,

God’s cho sen (Gm7)one who’s (Bbmaj7)come to (F)save us from

all our op (Fm)pres sors.

(Bbm)We shall be (Dbdim7)kings on this (F)ice

This (Ab)world.

(Ab)Fol low (Eb)me!

(Db)I’ll play the game you want me (Gb)un til I find a way back (Ab)home.

(Ab)Fol low (Eb)me!

(Db)I give you strength in side you, (Gb)cour age to win your bat tles.

(Cb)No, (Db)no, (Eb)no.

(Abmaj7)This (Cb)can’t (Db)go (Eb)on.

(Cb)This (Db)will be (Eb)all

that (F)I (Fm9)fled (Cm)from.

Let me rest for a while.

He walked in to the (Dm)val ley

all a (Cmaj7)lone.

There he talked with (Bbm)wa ter (Ebsus2)and then with the (F)vine.

They (C#m7)leave me no (B)choice.

I must (C#m7)lead them to (B)glo ry or most (C#)like ly to (F#)death.

They (F)air.

It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
