:[Verse 1]:
Am         F
Nocturnal poetry:
        Dm             G                      Am
Dressed in the whitest silver, you'd smile at me
               F                   G  
Every night I wait for my sweet Selene
Em
   But, still...

:[Verse 2]:
Am           F
Solitude's upon my skin
   Dm                        G           Am
A life that's bound by the chains of reality
                 F             G
Would you let me be your Endymion?

:[Pre-Chorus]: 
        Dm            Em             F           G
I would bathe in your moonlight and slumber in peace
       Dm    Em           F         G
Enchanted by your kiss in forever sleep

:[Chorus]:
    Am        C       G             Am
But until we unite I live for that night
Dm       Em    F           G
Wait for time Two souls entwine
       Am            C      G          Am
In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn
  Dm               Em           F              G
Shadows, they will fade But I'm always in the shade
         Am
Without you...

:[Verse 3]:
Am          F
Serene and silent sky
Dm                G                Am
Rays of moon are dancing with the tide
           F                G
A perfect sight, a world divine
Em
  And I...

:[Verse 4]:
Am             F
The loneliest child alive
Dm                G               Am
Always waiting, searching for my rhyme
            F                   G
I'm still alone in the dead of night

:[Pre-Chorus]:
Dm       Em        F        G
Silent I lie with smile on my face,
Dm         Em                      F          G
Appearance deceives and the silence betrays

:[Chorus]:
      Am          C        G           Am
As I wait for the time My dream comes alive
Dm            Em         F            G
Always out of sight But never out of mind
    Am           C     G               Am
And under waning moon Still I long for you
  Dm               Em   F           G  Am
Alone against the light Solitude am I

:[Part]:
       F           Em            Am
In the end, I'm enslaved by my dream
       F               Em                   Am
In the end, there's no soul who'd bleed for me

:[Part]:
Em
Hidden from daylight I'm sealed in my cave
                                               C
Trapped in a dream that is slowly turning to a nightmare
Where I'm all alone.
D
Venial is life when you're but a dream
                                              Em
The book is still open, the pages as empty as me...

:[Chorus]:
    Am         C      G             Am
But until we unite I live for that night
Dm       Em    F           G
Wait for time Two souls entwine
        Am           C        G         Am
In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn
Dm             Em        F          G
We will never meet Only Misery and me

:[Chorus]:
        Am        C   G      Am
This is my final call My evenfall
Dm             Em  F             G
Drowning into time I become the night
        Am          C   G          Am
By the light of new day I'll fade away
Dm           Em    F                   G
Reality cuts deep Would you bleed with me
      Am
My Selene
