Here are the chords for this great song.
I'm still working with guitar melodies
and I'll try to transcribe them as soon as
possible. Though, this song sounds good
acoustic too.



Intro:

A# - Fm - E - Fm x2

A#                            Fm
I'VE HEARD THE SILENCE OF THE ANGELS,
E                              Fm
I'VE SEEN BETRAYED MY FAITH IN MEN
A#                         Fm
AND THEIR CONDITIONS OF SALVATION
E                          Fm
IN WHICH SO BLINDLY THEY DEFEND.

          C#                         A#    Eb   Fm
TOUCH THE LIGHT THAT CRAWLS FROM THE PAGE,
             C#                      A#    Eb   Fm
ASCENSION OF HEROES - STRENGHTEN THE SAINTS
             C#                          A#    Eb   Fm
ASCENSION OF HEROES - THAT CALL FROM THE STAGE.

Eb                                   Fm
THE TYRANT, HE LIVES AND DIES BY THE SWORD,
Eb                                    Fm
HE'S PAINTED HIS FACE AND TAINTED THE LORD,
         C#                     A#     Fm     E     Fm
INTO THE ARENA, HIS FAITH IS RESTORED.

A#                            Fm   E
THE MORTAL STORM OF FEAR THAT WAGES THEIR WILL
                 Fm     A#
TO TAKE AWAY YOUR NAMES WILL KEEP THE PHANTOMS
        Fm    E                           Fm
IN THEIR CAGES AND CAST THE CHILDREN INTO FLAMES.

          C#                         A#   Eb   Fm
TOUCH THE LIGHT THAT CRAWLS FROM THE PAGE,
             C#                      A#   Eb   Fm
ASCENSION OF HEROES - STRENGHTEN THE SAINTS
             C#                          A#   Eb   Fm
ASCENSION OF HEROES - THAT CALL FROM THE STAGE.

Eb                                  Fm
I'VE LOVED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND MY SOUL,
Eb                              Fm
THE CONFLICT WITHIN IS LEADIN ME HOME,
                  C#                    A#
THE GHOST AND THE GODSEND ARE STANDING ALONE.


Guitar solo

Eb                                   Fm
THE BIRTH OF A NEW WORLD AWAITS IN YOUR HANDS,
Eb                                     Fm
WITH ONLY YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS MAY YOU STAND.

             C#                      A#   Eb   Fm
ASCENSION OF HEROES - ARE WAITING COMMAND,
             C#                      A#   Eb   Fm
ASCENSION OF HEROES - AWAITING THE STAND.


Repeat until fade
