Em              C               Am  G    F#
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
     Em                      C                   Am G F#  
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality

       Em            D             Bm           Em
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
      C            G
Made foundations quiver
       Em           D              Bm               C
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
    G     Em
And I shiver...

     Em              C             
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
  Am     G      F#
All the right answers
Em                   C                    Am  G   F#
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom

       Em            D              Bm           Em
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
       C           G  
Made foundations quiver
       Em           D              Bm               C
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
    G   Em
And I shiver...

      Em                           C       
This black page in history is not colourfast,
      
Will stain the next
     Am                               Em              B     
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,
                Em               B
In dreams like what was meant to be

       Em            D              Bm           Em
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
       C           G  
Made foundations quiver
       Em           D              Bm               C
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
    G   Em
And I shiver...
