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...
