[Verse]
Dm
It must have been inside my head
Bb                    Fm                   C
I lost the hope that I have left
Dm
And now at last it comes to pass

We sleep, we dream, we have no less
Dm
Along the path we lost our way
Bb                                                      C
It’s all a game that I must play
Bb                                     C
And now the weak that fall

Return to ash, defeated after all

[Chorus]

Fade away to the wicked world we left

And I become the dark of you

As I become the dark of you

When all has come to life

We live, we breathe, we die
Dm
They call me to the light

Forever lost in time

We feed, we burn, we lie
Dm
The fall of humankind

The everlasting light

As I become the dark of you

We feed, we burn, we lie

The everlasting light
