Intro: Dm Bb F A
 
                       Dm                        Bb 
Yeah, can you hear the call in our rambling land? Susurrations 
           F                                 A 
that can expand beyond all hope of light and plunge us into unrelenting 
Dm                                Bb 
night; A pall on truth and reason, It feels like hunting season, 
F                        A                               break 
 so avoid those lines of sight, and we'll set this right! 
 
Dm             F              C 
Welcome to the new dark ages: 
        Gm          A      Dm 
Yeah, I hope you're living right. 
              F               C 
These are the new dark ages, 
        Gm          A 
And the world might end tonight.

    Dm                               Bb 
Now come, ye children, one and all - let's heed Ezekiel's call, 
    F                               A                                  Dm 
And bide until the word is good and ripe then get plucked clean out of sight. 
                              Bb 
The world will be erased; our kin will be immaculate, ejaculate in space, 
           F                                               A 
Before the king of king's love, he'll snatch us from above, 
                          break 
brothers, help me sing it! 
 
Welcome to the new dark ages... 
 
Gm                  F                   C               Gm 
So how do you sleep? There's nothing to keep... This is deep! 
               F            C 
Because we're animals, with golden rules, who- 
Gm                     C 
who can't be moved, by rational views, yeah!
