[Verse 1]
Dm
You wake up to the screaming darkness
Dm                      C
You brave the murk that moves
       F          Bb
Like a bat in the night
          Dm       C
Or an afflatus divine?
Dm
You're one of those terminal illusions
Dm                   C
They're looking through you
           F              Bb
They don't care what's inside
        Dm              C
If you laugh while you die


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                      Bb
You're spinning your cocoon
                  Am
Now is it really you
               C
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
         Eb
Choking!
             F7
Lonely and invisible we run


[Chorus]
Gm     Eb              Bb         F
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Gm         Eb               Bb    F
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Gm        Eb            Bb           F
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Ab
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

[Verse 2]
Dm
Determination called your name
                 C
You feel like a template screened
       F           Bb         Dm     C
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
Dm
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
              C
Receive the blessings of those
F             Bb               Dm           C
Roads in the night there's no place in the light


[Pre-Chorus]
           Dm             Bb
For those castles in the sky
                    Am
You sit and wonder why
                  C
The ashen hand of reason
                             Eb
Wraps its cloak around your dream
            F7
Admonitory fingers


[Chorus]
    Gm     Eb              Bb         F
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Gm         Eb               Bb    F
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Gm        Eb            Bb           F
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Ab
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

They say you've got to want it
         Dm
On the treadmill
                   C
You gotta want it badly
          F           Bb
You're predestined to be
             Dm         C
What they're eyes wanna see
Eb            F7
A terminated fire!
