Em    D             Bm      C 
I didn't know there was a tower 
Em    D             Bm      C 
Where they look out to the land 
Em    D             Bm      C 
To see the people quickly passing by 
Em    D             Bm      C 
This is for their own desire 
Em    D             Bm      C 
As they spit down to the earth 
Em    D             Bm      C 
To feel the power boiling in their veins 

C     B        C    B 
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah

Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah

G       D           C 
And the black smoke rises 
G         D               C 
From the fires we've been told 
G        D       C 
It's the new age crisis 
G           D               C 
And we will stand up in the cold 
                Em 
Stand up in the cold 
Em    D             Bm      C 
Many people are dividing 
Em    D             Bm      C 
And a world apart with just one heart 
Em    D             Bm      C 
Is bound to keel and fade away 
Em    D             Bm      C 
None of us will be deciding 
Em    D             Bm      C 
And the fate of man is in the hands 
Em    D             Bm      C 
Of he who stands and heeds the call 

C     B        C    B 
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah 
C     B        C    B   D 
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah

G        D       C 
It's the new age crisis 
G           D               C 
And we will stand up in the cold 
                Am7 
Stand up in the cold
