When doors lie open at _ Halloween, on glimmering _ hills and lands unseen,
the oldest of all that the world gave birth, _ right again through the hills of [Dm] Earth.
Out _ of the [D] darkness [C] on the road where the dead [Dm] years run, _ _
_ _ cold as moonlight, _ [C] _ terrible as [Dm] the sun.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
Long before [Bb] the word [A] was [Gm] spoken, moan, scorn [Bb] or promise,
[A] broken [Gm] from dust before [Bb] the first [A] day's sun, [G] the children _ [Gm] of the [A] twilight [Dm] come.
Out _ of the darkness _ [C] on the road where the [Dm] dead years run,
_ _ _ cold as moonlight, _ [C] _ terrible [Dm] as the sun.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm]
[G] When the great stones rose [Bb] on the windy [A]
plain, [Gm] and the corn mother sang [Bb] for the [A] springing grain,
[Gm] they carved the [A] chalk downs [Bb]
[A] on the hill, [G] the grey host [G] rode and [Bb] it's [A] riding still.
[Dm] _ Out of the darkness [C] on the road where the dead [Dm] years run,
_ _ _ cold _ as moonlight, _ [C] _ terrible [Dm] as the sun. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] When the evils came [Bb] with their wings [A] _
[Gm] outspread, and the hard roads [Bb] rang to the legions' [A] tread,
[G] the wall [Gm] ran straight [Bb] from coast [A] to coast, [G] _ under the [Bb] starlight [A] rode the host.
[Dm] _ Out of the darkness [C] on the road where the dead years run,
_ _ _ cold as moonlight, _ _ [C] terrible as [Dm] the sun. _ _ _ _ _
[G] When they came from the north, [Bb] their axe [A] and plough in [G] the one eye,
_ _ [Bb] from [A] the bow [Gm] nine nights between [Bb] the earth [A] and sky, [G] he saw the [Gm] host come [A] riding by.
[Dm] _ Out [A] of the [D] darkness _ [C] on the road where the dead [Dm] years run,
_ _ _ cold as moonlight, _ [C] _ terrible [E] as [Dm] the sun.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [Gm] When clamoring bells and [Am] chanting priests [G]
proclaimed the dead [Gm] god from [A] the east,
[Gm] and churches rose on [A] every hand, [Gm]
still the grey [Bb] host rode [A] the land.
[Dm] _
Out [D] of the darkness [C] on the road where the dead [Dm] years run, _
_ cold as moonlight, _
[C] _ terrible [Dm] as the sun. _
_ _ _ _ [G] When gold was god [Gm] and labor [A] chief, and [G] they heard it men [Gm] like dogs [A] heard sheep,
[G] through furnace, [A]
glare, [Gm] and smoky mill, [G] the grey [E] host rode and it's [A] riding still.
[D] Out _ of the darkness [C] on the road where the dead [Dm] years run, _ _ _ _
cold as moonlight, _ [C] _ terrible [Dm] as the sun. _ _ _ _
_ [G] Through tower, [Gm] blocks, and [A] littered [G] streets, where sirens [Gm] wail and [A] dozers sleep,
[G] where hope [Gm] lives god [A] only knows.
[G] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [A] _
[G] Still the grey host [Gm] rides through the dead [A] of night,
[G] and the cities a [Gm] shadow to [A] their sight, for [G] beyond the [Gm] mist of _
[A] centuries, _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] still _ shine the [Gm] stars and the ancient [A] _ _ trees. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ Out _ [D] of the darkness. _ _ _
