[Intro]
Dm Bb F A
                       Dm                        Bb
Yeah, can you hear the call in our rambling land? Susurrations
           F                                 A
that can expand beyond all hope of light and plunge us into unrelenting
Dm                                Bb
night; A pall on truth and reason, It feels like hunting season,
F                        A                               [break]
 so avoid those lines of sight, and we'll set this right!
 
Dm             F              C
Welcome to the new dark ages:
        Gm          A      Dm
Yeah, I hope you're living right.
              F               C
These are the new dark ages,
        Gm          A
And the world might end tonight.

    Dm                               Bb
Now come, ye children, one and all - let's heed Ezekiel's call,
    F                               A                                  Dm
And bide until the word is good and ripe then get plucked clean out of sight.
                              Bb
The world will be erased; our kin will be immaculate, ejaculate in space,
           F                                               A
Before the king of king's love, he'll snatch us from above,
                          [break]
brothers, help me sing it!
 
[Welcome to the new dark ages...]
 
Gm                  F                   C               Gm
So how do you sleep? There's nothing to keep... This is deep!
               F            C
Because we're animals, with golden rules, who-
Gm                     C
who can't be moved, by rational views, yeah!
