Far in the distant future
A                       G
Beyond the pages of our time

Cold-blooded wicked tyrants

Threaten the freedom of mankind

Corruption, lust, and greed

Changing the course of history

Across the vast North Empire
D                          C
Most people struggle to survive

Living a meek existence
D                           A
Where they're secludedly oppressed


G                    Dm
We are living day to day
G                         Dm
Forced to bear the lion's share
C                                   Bb
People just don't have the time for music anymore
   Am
And no one seems to care

My friends have seen the Chosen One

Our quest for freedom has begun

He will be the answer to our prayers

There walks a god among us

Who's seen the writing on the wall

He is the revolution

He'll be the one to save us all

Shining like a beacon in the night

Gm                    Dm
Shepherd of Ravenskill
  C                Dm
A reason to believe

The songbird stops to listen when he sings
