Intro:
B5 D5 A5 B5 E5 F#5 G5 A5 [x2]
Bm.:: G5 ::.B5

:[Verse 1]:
B5         G5
Nocturnal poetry:
        E5             A5                      B5
Dressed in the whitest silver, you'd smile at me
               G5                   A5  
Every night I wait for my sweet Selene
F#5
   But, still...

:[Verse 2]:
B5           G5
Solitude's upon my skin
   E5                        A5           B5
A life that's bound by the chains of reality
                 G5             A5
Would you let me be your Endymion?

:[Pre-Chorus]: 
        E5            F#5            G5           A5
I would bathe in your moonlight and slumber in peace
       E5    F#5          G5         A5
Enchanted by your kiss in forever sleep

:[Chorus]:
    B5        D5       A5             B5
But until we unite I live for that night
E5       F#5   G5           A5
Wait for time Two souls entwine
       B5            D5      A5          B5
In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn
  E5               F#5          G5              A5
Shadows, they will fade But I'm always in the shade
         B5
Without you...

:[Verse 3]:
B5          G5
Serene and silent sky
E5                A5                B5
Rays of moon are dancing with the tide
           G5                A5
A perfect sight, a world divine
F#5
  And I...

:[Verse 4]:
B5             G5
The loneliest child alive
E5                A5               B5
Always waiting, searching for my rhyme
            G5                   A5
I'm still alone in the dead of night

:[Pre-Chorus]:
E5       F#5       G5        A5
Silent I lie with smile on my face,
E5         F#5                     G5          A5
Appearance deceives and the silence betrays

:[Chorus]:
      B5          D5        A5           B5
As I wait for the time My dream comes alive
E5            F#5        G5            A5
Always out of sight But never out of mind
    B5           D5     A5               B5
And under waning moon Still I long for you
  E5               F#5  G5           A5  B5
Alone against the light Solitude am I

:[ C-Part]:
       G5           F#5           B5
In the end, I'm enslaved by my dream
       G5               F#5                  B5
In the end, there's no soul who'd bleed for me

:[Guitar Solo Base]:
C5 A5 D5 D5

:[ D-Part]:
F#5
Hidden from daylight I'm sealed in my cave
                                               D5
Trapped in a dream that is slowly turning to a nightmare
Where I'm all alone.
E5
Venial is life when you're but a dream
                                              F#5
The book is still open, the pages as empty as me...

:[Keyboard Solo]:

:[Pre-Chorus]:
E5           F#5           G5         A5
I cling to a hope that's beginning to fade,
E5         F#5                  G5        A5
Trying to break the desolation I hate

:[Chorus]:
    B5         D5      A5             B5
But until we unite I live for that night
E5       F#5   G5           A5
Wait for time Two souls entwine
        B5           D5        A5         B5
In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn
E5             F#5       G5          A5
We will never meet Only Misery and me

:[Chorus steps up]:
        D5        F5   C5      D5
This is my final call My evenfall
G5             A5  Bb5            C5
Drowning into time I become the night
        D5          F5   C5          D5
By the light of new day I'll fade away
G5           A5    Bb5                  C5
Reality cuts deep Would you bleed with me
      D5
My Selene
