E5              C5        C5  A5 A5  G5    F#5 
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished 
     E5                      C5          C5      A5   A5 G5 F#5   
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality 
 

       E5            D5             C5           G5 
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart 
      A5            E5 
Made foundations quiver 
       E5           D5              C5               G5 
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break 
    F#5     E5 
And I shiver... 
 

     E5              C5            C5  
The leftover tallow just doesn?t contain 
A5  A5  G5      F#5 
All the right answers 
E5                   C5    C5    A5   A5  G5   F#5 
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom 
 

       E5            D5              C5           G5 
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart 
       A5           E5   
Made foundations quiver 
       E5           D5              C5               G5 
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break

And I shiver...

This black page in history is not colourfast, 
      G5 
Will stain the next 
     F5               B5               Bb5          F#5 
All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be 
      E5             D5              C5        
This black page in history is not colourfast, 
       G5            
Will stain the next 
     F5              B5 
And nothing seems in life, 
                Bb5             F#5 
In dreams like what was meant to be
