Em             C                  Am G    D       

The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished 

Em                           C                Am G D

Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality 



      Em           D              Bm       C

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart 

         Am      G

Made foundations quiver 

      Em          D               Bm           C

Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break 

      Em

And I shiver... 





     Em                  C

The leftover tallow just doesn’t contain 

        Am G   D

All the right answers 

Em             C                          Am G D

Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom 





D

An untouched snow turns red 



Innocence dies 







      Em           D              Bm       C

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart 

         Am      G

Made foundations quiver 

      Em          D               Bm           C

Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break 

      Em

And I shiver... 





     Em                           C

This black page in history is not colourfast, 



will stain the next 

    Am                              G                 D

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

     Em                           C

This black page in history is not colourfast, 



will stain the next 

    Am

And nothing seems in life, 

               G                 D

in dreams like what was meant to be 







      Em           D              Bm       C

Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart 

         Am      G

Made foundations quiver 

      Em          D               Bm           C

Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break 

      Em

And I shiver...
