[Verse 1]
Cm G# Fm Cm A# Gm
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Cm G# Fm Cm A# Gm
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
[Chorus]
Cm A# Gm Cm A#
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
G# D#
Made foundations quiver
A#/D Cm A# Gm G#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
A# Cm
And I shiver...
[Verse 2]

The leftover tallow just doesn't contain

Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom

As untouched snow turns red

Innocence dies
[Chorus]

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart

Made foundations quiver

Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break

This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next

All what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be

This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next

And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be
[Chorus]

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
G# D#
Made foundations quiver
A#/D Cm A# Gm G#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break

And I shiver...
