Verse 1: 
       Am 
In the depths of my mind, I laid sleeping 
        Am                      D           C 
Well, I had such a dream when I woke, I was weeping 
    Am 
The vision I saw danced around me 
       Am                           D             C 
And my heart saw the things that my eyes couldn't see 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
        Am                      C        D 
Oh, the sun crashed down to the ground 
    Am                  C           D 
The moon rose up to the sky, blood red 
        Am                             C       D 
All the dead climbed up out from their graves 
     Am                         C             D 
They fell to their knees as the stars started screaming 
 
 
 
      Am                            D 
"Come one, come all, come see and believe in 
    Am                                D 
The truth will shine if you open your eyes 
           Am                             D 
And you'll see it move as it moves on the masses 
    Am                                   D 
The weak will rise and give birth to the sky" 
                      Am 
And give birth to the sky 
 
 
Interlude: Am  Am  D  C 
 
 
Verse 2:
       Am 
No, it didn't stop there, it consumed me 
       Am                         D            C 
And it crushed me with joy as its beauty swept through me 
      Am 
I was moved by the weight of it all 
          Am                           D            C 
I've been touched by the light, yes, I know what I saw 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
        Am                      C        D 
Oh, the sun crashed down to the ground 
    Am                  C           D 
The moon rose up to the sky, blood red 
        Am                             C       D 
All the dead climbed up out from their graves 
     Am                         C             D 
They fell to their knees as the stars started screaming 
 
 
 
      Am                            D 
"Come one, come all, come see and believe in 
    Am                                D 
The truth will shine if you open your eyes 
           Am                             D 
And you'll see it move as it moves on the masses 
    Am                                   D 
The weak will rise and give birth to the sky" 
                      Am 
And give birth to the sky

Bridge:
Am 
  I saw the dreamers dreaming, I heard the people singing 
Am 
  The dinosaurs are dying, the mind control's subsiding 
Am 
  I saw a new path beaten, free thinkers freely thinking 
Am 
  Can't stop a thought from breathing, it moves like fire 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
    Am                      C        D 
The sun crashed down to the ground 
    Am                  C           D 
The moon rose up to the sky, blood red 
        Am                             C       D 
All the dead climbed up out from their graves 
     Am                         C             D 
They fell to their knees as the stars started screaming 
 
 
 
      Am                            D 
"Come one, come all, come see and believe in 
    Am                                D 
The truth will shine if you open your eyes 
           Am                             D 
And you'll see it move as it moves on the masses 
    Am                                   D 
The weak will rise and give birth to the sky" 
                      Am 
And give birth to the sky
