The Great Unknown by Iron Maiden Lyric and Guitar Chords

Winter softly falling to the ground

Calmly waiting don’t you hear a sound

When the world has fallen to the depths below
Where the future’s open and the fear has grown

And the path to follow to the great unknown
Where the dark has fallen and the seed is sown

[PART 2]

In the selfish hearts of some
[E/G]The n[E/A]ightm[E/F#]are’s [E/G]comi[E/F#]ng
With the spilling blood of others
Now wringing through
Now the cup is spilling over
[E/G]Wake [E/A]to ne[E/F#]ws of [E/G]deat[E/F#]h
And the prophecy of sages
Destiny is met

To the depths of human mind
[E/G]The c[E/A]ry is[E/F#] burni[E/G]ng[E/F#]
With the mentor’s anger
Of the lesson ringing true

And for those who live by
[E/G]and a[E/A]re dy[E/F#]ing by[E/G] the[E/F#] sword
They will take their ideals with them
Justify their end

Where the fools are lying and the meek are crying
Where the wolves are preying
On the weak alone
Where the sons are dying
Hear their mothers crying
And the distant sound of fire
Begins again

Never ending the desires of men
It’ll never be the same or calm again
In a time of changing hearts And great unknown
It’ll be the damnation and end of us all

[(G] [E5)]

Where the fools are lying and the meek are crying
Where the wolves are preying
On the weak alone
Where the sons are dying
Hear their mothers crying
And the distant sound of fire
Begins again

Never ending the desires of men
It’ll never be the same or calm again
In a time of changing hearts And great unknown
It’ll be the damnation and end of us all
