D#m D#sus2
This heart-pounding day has finally arrived
D#7sus2 D#m Bsus2
All my living footfalls sigh like the night
D#7sus2 D#m Bsus2
Outside the war between illusion and truth

In the blue mist death has finally closed in
D#7sus2 D#m Bsus2
All my gasping words at war with the wind
D#7sus2 D#m Bsus2
Worshipping the fear of hell left me lost
D#7sus2 D#m Bsus2
I’ve found something for us, souls who have crossed

Ashen and dead-eyed

He’s my blood
C# Bmaj7 A#m7
Reflected in mud

Among the poppies

You were my god
