[Verse]
C#m
Life's breath in the candlelight
G#
Lost hearts in the dead of night
E
It's a long way down
G#7
To the place they found
C#m
Dark sun, hollowed by the fade
G#7
Our debt they left to be paid
C#m
Seen the blackness stare
G#7
Promising to spare
The chosen
[Chorus]
C#m G#
Born of graves and left below
C#m
Painted ashes, painted snow
When the dark awakens
G#7 C#m
Fires of our last hope are getting low
G#
Souls of gods and souls of men
C#m
Meet in cinders to ascend
Fate has chosen
F#m G#7
And our fading light is at its end

C#m G#
I've a tale that time has lost
E
Sins of judgment born in frost
Then he took a name
G#
For the one profaned
C#m G#
Know the dark but let it rest
C#m
Left to lurkers in their quest
Let the watchers fight
F#sus2
And the blood ignite
G#
The chosen
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
C#m
Souls to revive us
Or rot us away
A
Want for the weary
And death for the sane
B
Cursed yet we listen
For bells left to toll
AM7
To fight back the depths of
G#7
Humanity's soul
C#m
For the unkindled
We look to the sun
A
Cities in gold
All the victories won
B
Fear not the dark
Or the monsters, my friend
AM7
And brace for the feast
G#7
Of humanity's end
