[Verse 1]
Cm
You wake up to the screaming darkness
Cm A#
You brave the murk that moves
D# Ab
Like a bat in the night
Cm A#
Or an afflatus divine?
Cm
You're one of those terminal illusions
Cm A#
They're looking through you
D# Ab
They don't care what's inside
Cm A#
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Ab
You're spinning your cocoon
Gm
Now is it really you
A#
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
Db
Choking!
D#7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
Fm Db Ab D#
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Fm Db Ab D#
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Fm Db Ab D#
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Gb
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Cm
Determination called your name
A#
You feel like a template screened
D# Ab Cm A#
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
Cm
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
A#
Receive the blessings of those
D# Ab Cm A#
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Ab
For those castles in the sky
Gm
You sit and wonder why
A#
The ashen hand of reason
Db
Wraps its cloak around your dream
D#7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
Fm Db Ab D#
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Fm Db Ab D#
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Fm Db Ab D#
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Gb
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

G
They say you've got to want it
Cm
On the treadmill
A#
You gotta want it badly
D# Ab
You're predestined to be
Cm A#
What they're eyes wanna see
Db D#7
G terminated fire!
