   Dm              Am 
A darkness falls over the land 
   Dm              Am 
Enslaves with a wave of its hand 
   Dm             Am 
And I try to see 
   E              B7 
The light through the disease 
   Dm             Am 
I tried to get up on my feet 
   Dm              Am 
Been so long, shackled down on my knees 
   Dm              Am 
For somewhere deep inside, I know 
   E              B7 
That fate favors the bold 

  C                D           G        C 
So tonight, I'm riding a black unicorn 
  C              D              G 
Down the side of an erupting volcano 
        C      C     D     D 
And I drink, drink, drink 
  G             C 
From a chalice filled 
       C           D         Em 
With the laughter of small children 

 Dm                   Am 
When darkness is drowning your soul 
   Dm                  Am 
And makes you feel alone in the cold 
  Dm            Am 
Find me, and grab ahold 
  E             B7 
This chalice, it overflows 

   C              D               G      C 
So tonight, you're riding a black unicorn 
  C               D          G 
Down the side of an erupting volcano 
         C       C      D 
And you drink, drink, drink 
        G          C 
From a chalice filled 
          C         D       Em 
With the laughter of small children 

     Am                G 
Lords of strength and gods of might 
    Am          G 
Hand over the reins 
     Am             G 
Bless our path, that tonight 
     D                 B7 
We find the will to break these chains 
    C 
And ride! 

    C            D               G         C 
So tonight, we're riding our black unicorns 
   C           D              G 
Down the side of an erupting volcano 
         C      C      D 
And we drink, drink, drink 
   G           C 
From a chalice filled 
     C          D          Em 
With the laughter of small children 
      C          D          Em 
And the blood and tears of our enemies
