[Verse 1]
Em C Am Em D Bm
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Em C Am Em D Bm
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
[Chorus]
Em D Bm Em D
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
C G
Made foundations quiver
D/F# Em D Bm C
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
D Em
And I shiver...
[Verse 2]
Em C
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
Am Em D Bm
All the ri - ight answers
Em C Am Em
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
Bm Bm7
As untouched snow turns red
Bm
Innocence dies
[Chorus]
Em D Bm Em D
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
C G
Made foundations quiver
D/F# Em D Bm C
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
D Em
And I shiver...
[Interlude]
(Em) C Em C D
[Bridge]
Em C
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
Am Em Bm
All what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
Em C
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
Am Em Bm
And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be
[Chorus]
Em D Bm Em D
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
C G
Made foundations quiver
D/F# Em D Bm C
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
D Em
And I shiver...
[Ending]
(Em) C Em C D Bm Em
