[Intro]
G G# A# D# C x6
[Verse 1]
G
I’m here again
D#
No place and everywhere
C
Black bark and smouldering air
A#
My influence
[Verse 2]
G
Another turn
D#
Another peace to shun
C
Gauntlet of frost to run
G#
No difference
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines
G
Time and space on the frailest veil
D#
Frozen cold in the static
C
Bloody blades under hatred’s sails
G#
Tearing out through the fabric
[Chorus]
G
The shimmer of white skies
A#
I spin to and fro
D#
A flicker of wild eyes
C
Gifts I can’t control
G
The shimmer of white skies
A# D#
The legacy leashed in my cries
C
Shall reign over bitter white skies
[Bridge 1]
G G# A# D# C x2
[Verse 3]
G
I pay the debt
D#
Muse to another’s song
C
Heir to another’s wrongs
A#
Unwanted crown
[Verse 4]
G
Dance on the wind
D#
Through space and time I swirl
C
The lady of the worlds
G#
Don’t hold me down
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines
G
Wake the wolf with a distant roar
D#
Strands of ash separated
C
To entwine on a misty shore
A#
Troubled lives ever fated
[Chorus]
G
The shimmer of white skies
A#
I spin to and fro
D#
A flicker of wild eyes
C
Gifts I can’t control
G
The shimmer of white skies
A# D#
The legacy leashed in my cries
C
Shall reign over bitter white skies
[Bridge 2]
G G# A# D# C x2
(Weave these strands of ash together
Warm our hands on the embers of time)
G G# A# D# C x2
[Chorus]
G
The shimmer of white skies
A#
She spins to and fro
D#
A flicker of wild eyes
C
She’s losing control
G
The shimmer of white skies
A# D#
I’m haunted at night by her cries
C
Yeah I’m frozen cold....
G
The shimmer of white skies
A#
I spin to and fro
D#
A flicker of wild eyes
C
Gifts I can’t control
G
The shimmer of white skies
A# D#
The worth I no longer defy
C
Shall reign over bitter white skies
[Outro]
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines
[End]
G
