F#m
Behold 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all
Resist me not, surrender
I'll no compassion call

Chorus:
F#m
(Tyrant)
           E
Captor of humanity
 D
(Tyrant)
            C#
Conqueror of all
F#m
(Tyrant)
             E
Hideous Destructor
D
(Tyrant)
                 B  C#
Every man shall fall

Your very lives are held within my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near

Chorus

Bm        G      D         A
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
 Bm           G       A      F#m
Chained and shackled we are bound
Bm        G         D       A
Freedom choked in dread we live
       G     F#m      E
Since Tyrant was enthroned

I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand

Chorus

Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you
Shall scream as you are sought

Chorus
