[Verse 1]
F#m D Bm F#m E C#m
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
F#m D Bm F#m E C#m
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
[Chorus]
F#m E C#m F#m E
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
D A
Made foundations quiver
E/G# F#m E C#m D
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
E F#m
And I shiver...
[Verse 2]
F#m D
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
Bm F#m E C#m
All the ri - ight answers
F#m D Bm F#m
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
C#m C#m7
As untouched snow turns red
C#m
Innocence dies
[Chorus]
F#m E C#m F#m E
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
D A
Made foundations quiver
E/G# F#m E C#m D
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
E F#m
And I shiver...
[Interlude]
(Em) D F#m D E
[Bridge]
F#m D
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
Bm F#m C#m
All what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
F#m D
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
Bm F#m C#m
And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be
[Chorus]
F#m E C#m F#m E
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
D A
Made foundations quiver
E/G# F#m E C#m D
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
E F#m
And I shiver...
[Ending]
