[Verse 1]
F#m
You wake up to the screaming darkness
F#m E
You brave the murk that moves
A D
Like a bat in the night
F#m E
Or an afflatus divine?
F#m
You're one of those terminal illusions
F#m E
They're looking through you
A D
They don't care what's inside
F#m E
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
You're spinning your cocoon
C#m
Now is it really you
E
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
G
Choking!
A7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Bm G D A
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Bm G D A
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
C
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
F#m
Determination called your name
E
You feel like a template screened
A D F#m E
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
F#m
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
E
Receive the blessings of those
A D F#m E
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
For those castles in the sky
C#m
You sit and wonder why
E
The ashen hand of reason
G
Wraps its cloak around your dream
A7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Bm G D A
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Bm G D A
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
C
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

C#
They say you've got to want it
F#m
On the treadmill
E
You gotta want it badly
A D
You're predestined to be
F#m E
What they're eyes wanna see
G A7
C# terminated fire!
