[Verse 1]
Dm
You wake up to the screaming darkness
Dm C
You brave the murk that moves
F A#
Like a bat in the night
Dm C
Or an afflatus divine?
Dm
You're one of those terminal illusions
Dm C
They're looking through you
F A#
They don't care what's inside
Dm C
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm A#
You're spinning your cocoon
Am
Now is it really you
C
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
Eb
Choking!
F7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
Gm Eb A# F
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Gm Eb A# F
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Gm Eb A# F
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Ab
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Dm
Determination called your name
C
You feel like a template screened
F A# Dm C
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
Dm
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
C
Receive the blessings of those
F A# Dm C
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm A#
For those castles in the sky
Am
You sit and wonder why
C
The ashen hand of reason
Eb
Wraps its cloak around your dream
F7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
Gm Eb A# F
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Gm Eb A# F
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Gm Eb A# F
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Ab
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

A
They say you've got to want it
Dm
On the treadmill
C
You gotta want it badly
F A#
You're predestined to be
Dm C
What they're eyes wanna see
Eb F7
A terminated fire!
[Chorus]
Gm Eb A# F
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you

I'm the ground that's gonna open

Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
