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