E F#
Spin the wheel of fortune, or learn to navigate

Will call our ships to port
E
The countless lonely voices
F#
Like whispers in the dark

Like whispers in the dark

G# second of reflection can take you to the moon
G#
The slightest hesitation can bring you down in flames

An echo from the chorus
