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