[Verse]
                       A7     
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
                    Em    
But we don't need a reason
    A7                          
The Golden Goose is on the loose
                 Em7   
And never out of season
Am7                               
Blackened pride still burns inside
     D7              Dm7    
This shell of bloody treason
Am7                              
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
        Dsus4          Dm7  
For the love of living death
Am7                                   
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
Fmaj7           Dm7     C   G   
The glamour the fortune the pain


[Chorus]
      Am  Am7                           
Go to war again blood is freedom's stain
          F                Em7     Em
Don't you pray for my soul anymore ■ 
Am          C  G       
Two minutes to midnight
D         Dm            F   
The hands that threaten doom
    G Am         C  G       
Two ■ ■  minutes to midnight
D       F                 G   
To kill the unborn in the womb
Am7 A7 Am7 D7 Am7 C

[Verse]
A7                                       
The blind men shout Let the creatures out
               A7         
We'll show the unbelievers
       A7                     
Napalm screams of human flames
                 Am               
For a prime time Belsen feast yeah
                   A7              Am7            Gsus4    Am7  
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
           Am                                       Dm        
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies
G   Am             Am7                
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
Am          F               G   
The glamour the fortune the pain
      Am  Am7                           
Go to war again blood is freedom's stain
               F           Em     
Don't you pray for my soul anymore


[Chorus]
Am             C        G
Two minutes to midnight ■
    Dm    F             G   
The hands that threaten doom
Am             C        G
Two minutes to midnight ■
   D    F             G   Am  
To kill the unborn in the womb

[Verse]
A7                                                   
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
A7                                                                       
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
                                     Am7    D        Dm    Am7 
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
                                    Dm                       
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun
Am                 Am7                
The killer's breed or the demon's seed
F                       C   G   
The glamour the fortune the pain
Am    Am7                               
Go to war again blood is freedom's stain
F                          Em7     E7
Don't you pray for my soul anymore ■ 


[Chorus]
Am          C          
Two minutes to midnight
G   Dm         F        G   
The hands that threaten doom
Am          C  G       
Two minutes to midnight
D       Dm         F      G   
To kill the unborn in the womb
A7       Am7      G
Midnight Midnight ■
Am7      Em7  A7       
Midnight It's all night
         Am7

D7       C    A7       
Midnight It's all night
