Progression:

[Intro] x1

Keyboard arr. for guitar:

(D) G

I have mem'ry and awareness, but I have no shape or form.

Em Bm

As a disembodied spirit, I am dead and yet unborn.

G D

I have passed into Olympus, as was told in tales of old.

A D

To the City of Immortals, marble white and purest gold.

A

I see the Gods in battle rage on high,

C

Thunderbolts across the sky.

F

I cannot move, I cannot hide.

E

I feel a silent scream begin inside.

[Riff 1] x4 w/ lyrics:

Then all at once the chaos ceased.

A stillness fell, a sudden peace.

The Warriors felt my silent cry and stayed their struggle, mystified.

[Riff 1] x1

E A F# D A7 Bm A/C# A5

Apollo was astonished; Dionysus thought me mad.

E A F# D A7 Bm A

But they heard my story further, and they wondered, and were sad.

E A F# D A7 Bm A/C# A5

Looking down from Olympus on a world of doubt and fear.

E A F# D A7 Bm A/C# A

Its surface splintered into sorry hemispheres.

[Guitar Solo] - As in previous solo, there may be some legato hand

sliding that sounds like pick sliding.
