C#m             E
Another bloody Monday
Thirty-nine Just died
All hell breaks loose in the crowd
A hopeless helter skelter
Another mindless crime
Some corner of the world is burning down

D#m
Heading for a nervous breakdown
F#
Can't take it anymore
D#m
I see the fear explode just like
G#
A thousand nights before

Chorus:
F#m          D
The ship of fools
          F#m                       D
Keeps on rolling through a deadly storm
F#m            D               F#m
It won't take long until we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed

Corrupt politicians
Promise paradise
The thieves are reaching out for the crown
Violence is a killer
Threatens all our lives
Judgment day has come here and now

Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousand nights before

Chorus

Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousand nights before

Chorus - x2
