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