First I shut down the stars because
You said they ruled us
Bbm
Then I took out Mars
Db
He was the cruelest
    Fm
His lover followed suit
By way of suicide
        Bbm
And the others stood there silent
     Db
As I dealt out peace of mind

This is a journey
To the edge of the night
Bbm
I've got no companions

Only Celine's on my side

The needle's in the red
Bbm
Nothing to lose
Db
Everything's dead

N.C.
The sky is empty/silent
N.C.
The earth as still as stone
N.C.
Nothing stands above me
N.C.
Now I can sleep alone
