[Verse 1]
A#m F# D#m A#m G# Fm
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
A#m F# D#m A#m G# Fm
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
[Chorus]
A#m G# Fm A#m G#
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
F# C#
Made foundations quiver
G#/C A#m G# Fm F#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
G# A#m
And I shiver...
[Verse 2]
A#m F#
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
D#m A#m G# Fm
All the ri - ight answers
A#m F# D#m A#m
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
Fm Fm7
As untouched snow turns red
Fm
Innocence dies
[Chorus]
A#m G# Fm A#m G#
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
F# C#
Made foundations quiver
G#/C A#m G# Fm F#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
G# A#m
And I shiver...
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
A#m F#
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
D#m A#m Fm
All what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
A#m F#
This black page in history is not colourfast, will stain the next
D#m A#m Fm
And nothing seems in life, in dreams like what was meant to be
[Chorus]
A#m G# Fm A#m G#
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
F# C#
Made foundations quiver
G#/C A#m G# Fm F#
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
G# A#m
And I shiver...
[Ending]
