Had no end 

Am    E    Am   Dm 
In distant days 

Am           E        Am      Dm
We were the first ones

Verse 2:       Reapeat the Chords from verse 1


Home submerged 
Nomads we 
Roam your lands 
We walk amongst you 
Secrets safe 
Signs concealed 
Sight unseen 
We walk amongst you

Savage is your way 
Savage yes 
But soon the tides will turn again 
The meek shall have their day 
Oh yes
Oh yes

       g    


Chorus:

 Em              C 
         When it comes 
        
      Am           d
It is swift in its mission 

                   Em
And seeks only the humble heart 

        C
When it comes 

      Am
It is swift 
  
        d             Dm             Am     E        Am
We'll meet you by the side of the spirals yes

Repeat these Chords for the rest of the song.


Verse  3:


Numbered we 
The grains of sand 
As you do now 
We are the last ones 
If you have 
Ears to hear 
Understand 
We are the last ones

Your world has no shame 
Those in anguish cry out loud 
And call our name 
Who will save the sane? 
Oh yes

Chorus : 


When it comes 
It is swift in its mission 
And seeks only the humble heart 
When it comes 
It is swift in its mission 
And seeks only the noble heart 
When it comes 
It is swift in its justice 
And breaks only the selfish heart 
When it comes 
And it will 
We'll meet you by the side of the spirals yes


Outro :  (the Outro has a diffrent rhythm then the verses)   Dm  Am  E  Am
