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