[Verse 1]
Dm A# Gm Dm C Am
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Dm A# Gm Dm C Am
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
[Chorus]
Dm C Am Dm C
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
A# F
Made foundations quiver
C/E Dm C Am A#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
C Dm
And I shiver...
[Verse 2]
Dm A#
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
Gm Dm C Am
All the ri - ight answers
Dm A# Gm Dm
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
Am Am7
As untouched snow turns red
Am
Innocence dies
[Chorus]
Dm C Am Dm C
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
A# F
Made foundations quiver
C/E Dm C Am A#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
C Dm
And I shiver...
[Interlude]
(Em) A# Dm A# C
[Bridge]
Dm A#
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
Gm Dm Am
All what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
Dm A#
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
Gm Dm Am
And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be
[Chorus]
Dm C Am Dm C
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
A# F
Made foundations quiver
C/E Dm C Am A#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
C Dm
And I shiver...
[Ending]
(Em) A# Dm A# C Am Em
