Standard (EADGBE)
Yeah, can you hear the call in our rambling land? Susurrations
that can expand beyond all hope of light and plunge us into unrelenting
night; A pall on truth and reason, It feels like hunting season,
[break]
so avoid those lines of sight, and we'll set this right!
Welcome to the new dark ages:
Yeah, I hope you're living right.
These are the new dark ages,
And the world might end tonight.
Intro chords
Now come, ye children, one and all - let's heed Ezekiel's call,
And bide until the word is good and ripe then get plucked clean out of sight.
The world will be erased; our kin will be immaculate, ejaculate in space,
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...]
So how do you sleep? There's nothing to keep... This is deep!
Because we're animals, with golden rules, who-
who can't be moved, by rational views, yeah!
[new chords this time!]
Welcome to the new dark ages: Yeah, I hope you're living right.
Welcome to the new dark ages! Say it again, yeah!
These are the new dark ages, I hope you're living right.
Welcome to the new dark ages! And the world might end tonight.
