The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished 
                                         Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality 

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

                      The leftover tallow just doesn’t contain 
          All the right answers 
                                     Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom 

An untouched snow turns red 

Innocence dies 

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

                               This black page in history is not colourfast, 

will stain the next 
                                                 All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be 
                               This black page in history is not colourfast, 

will stain the next 
    And nothing seems in life, 
                               in dreams like what was meant to be 

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