Capo II Am G D Am I stand at the threshold and see stars beyond F C F G An endless forever / A place that could never Am respond E Am to my heart's call E Am I am lost Am G D Am A desolate landscape from which none return F C F G Disasters uncaged / With monsters enraged Am to churn E Am and destroy all E Am I hold dear F C G Am Where is the keystone that I may restore? F C Am How do I bring back that which was before? G Am G Am How far must I travel to close all the doors? F C G Am I can't find the strength, still I must do more Am G D Am Daijin is running, a countdown to start F C F G The great worm is waking / And all the land shaking Am apart E Am Oh, Divine Gods E Am Hear my call Am G D Am The deep void is calling, the threshold is here F C F G A step, I am past it / My hope I will cast it Am Through fear E Am Despite the odds E Am I must try REFRAIN Am G D Am Timeless, eternal, a field filled with flowers F C F G A world burnt by fire / My only desire Am My power E Am Place the stone E Am Close the door Am G D Am Can love replace duty? Hold fast to my hand F C F G Let heaven record / The keystones restored Am We stand E Am With the key E Am Lock the door REFRAIN
