Storm Song

[Verso 1]
 
(Brutus) 
E                       Am 
There is a storm in the distance 
      Fm             C 
I can see it creeping closer 
E                       Am 
Lightning strikes in an instant 
    Fm                 C 
And thunder shakes the sky 

     E                     Am 
I've seen this before, you can't escape it 
      Fm                        C 
Can't delay it, no point racing rain clouds 
E                     Am 
The only choice is to brave it 
         Fm                  C 
Turn and face it, no running away now 
 


[Ponte]
 
Fm                         C 
The trees will tremble and fall 
                        G 
The dark will cover the moon 
                          D 
The birds will send out a call 
                     Fm 
Though the end isn't soon 
             C                   G       D 
The fools in darkened rooms will pray 
        F 
I don't believe in all that 
       C                    G 
But on nights like these, I do 
  D 
I do 
 


[Verso 2]
 
(Caeser, Caeser & Brutus) 
E                         Am 
There is no peace in this momnt 
       Fm               C 
Not on earth, nor in the heavns 
E                        Am 
But then what's one more opponent? 
     F                   C 
Even tempests have their endings 
 


[Ponte]
 
(Caeser & Brutus) 
E                     Am 
I know the others are watching 
        Fm               C 
Do they think I'm one to hide? 
E                    Am 
There is a hurricane deep inside me 
     Fm       C 
That I cannot deny 
 


[Refrão]
 
Fm                           C 
They'll say I've angered the gods 
                           G 
They'll jeer as I take the floor 
                          D 
And they'll say we're the first 
                          Fm 
But we've been here before 
                C            G     D 
And in my fear, I'm drawn to pray 
        Fm 
I can't run from the fight 
        C              G    D 
What am I here praying for? 
 


[Verso 3]
  
(Caeser, Brutus, both) 
E                       Am 
There is a storm in the distance (I don't see how this can end well) 
      F               C 
I can see it creeping closer (I can't prophesize the fate of Rome) 
E                     Am 
Life can strike in an instant (But tell me how, and tell me now) 
F           C       E 
An answer I already know
