  Em
A devil is dancing in the gloam
     Em
With twilight eyes and cloven chrome
           D
The master of the masquerade
      G       D      Em
Put a lantern in the window
      G       Bm     Em
Put a lantern in the window
   Em
He preys on the weak - he feeds on the lame
    Em
And snarls at those who utter his name
           D
As an omen of dark days to come
      G       D      Em
Put a lantern in the window
      G       Bm     A
Put a lantern in the window

    A               D
For those without a voice
    G        D      A
Who languish in the shadows
    A               D
For those without a choice
    G         D      A
Put a lantern in the window
    G         D      A
Put a lantern in the window

  Bm
A devil is dancing in the wake
     Bm
Of a broken land he means to take
            A
By force of will and grand acclaim
      D       A      Bm
Put a lantern in the window
      D       F#     Bm
Put a lantern in the window
    Bm
His silken tongue is savage and bold
Bm
Slithering sweet and a sight to behold
            A
When you retire to your bed tonight
      D       A      Bm
Put a lantern in the window
      D       F#     E
Put a lantern in the window

    A                D
For those out in the cold
    G      D        A
Who linger in their sorrow
    A                 D
For those outside the fold
      G       D      A
Put a lantern in the window
      G       D      A
Put a lantern in the window

Em                                    G F# Bm Em
Lest you awake to a world that is gone
  Em                                      G F# Bm Em
A piece at a time in the hours before dawn
Em                                    G F# Bm Em
Embers and ashes where monoliths stood
  Em                                   G F# Bm Em
A devil presiding o’er all that is good

A                D
Laughing in your face
    G       D      A
And basking in his bank roll
    A                      D
For those who fall off the pace
        G       D      A
Leave a lantern in the window
        G       D      A
Leave a lantern in the window

    G                      D
And brace yourself for the end times
                      Em
But keep your hearts aglow
