[Intro]
Dm x6
Dm Bb C x2
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb C
Forging the future from the timeless stone
Dm Bb C
Oh let me know how far I can go
Dm Bb C
Answering the questions that no one ever asks
Dm Bb C
Float through the sea of madness and face the everlasting task
[Verse 2]
Am
So lonely to wander
G
So sad to be alone
F Dm
In the mist of the unknown
Am
Trying to fool myself
Am
with dreams that never come true
G
So hard to stand my ground
F Dm
Never again, never again
Am
will I fail, will I fail...
[Instrumental]
Am G F Dm Am x2

Will you tell me not to wait...

As the flowers wither
Ab Bb G
I will forget my pain

Since the stars have shone
Ab Bb
The devil has shown me the way

Will you tell me not to wait...

As the flowers wither

I will forget my pain

Since the stars have shone
Ab Bb
The devil has shown me the way
