[Verse 1]
Em   Bm
Uncontested
Bm          Fmaj7        F G F
Dripping personification
Em         Bm
The putrid liquid
Bm           Fmaj7
Washing all away
Em             Bm
In the edge of mind
Bm           Fmaj7   F G F
Lurks bleak sacred monster
Em     Bm
Null incarnate
Bm           Fmaj7
Defeater the way

[Verse 2]
Am7             G/B
Locked within a spell
     Fmaj7    Dm             Am7
This ritual repeats itself again
    Fmaj7
The drained one
Dm                G
Dancing in madness
Am7        G/B           Fmaj7
Inverse horizon stretched out
           Dm
Before the shivering frenzy
Am7         G/B
The serpent whispers
        Fmaj7       Dm
And the haze must return
Am7        G/B
  Again the moments stop
Fmaj7    Dm
       Replaced by falsehood
Am7          G/B
   Perverted image
       Fmaj7          Dm
Of the self-arise, impure=
Am7      G/B
   Non-beginning
     Fmaj7  Dm
In a self-created doomsday
Am7      G/B
   Believe in your own end
         Fmaj7           Dm
And your wish will be fulfilled

Unforgiveness thrives

We cannot survive

[Verse 3]
Am
Finished
       Fmaj         G/F
In the dying of the flame
  Fmaj7    G/E
A solitary piece
  Dm             Am
Remainder of the sane
Am
A shattered bell
   Fmaj          G/F
In shadows still rings
        Fmaj7        G/E
And the night crying bird
            Am
Laments the loss of its wings

Am
Even alone
    Fmaj                 G/F
The wretched voice still calls
     Fmaj7           G/E
On a not too distant day
    Dm             Am
The sky is soon to fall
Am                  Fmaj              G/F
The wounded one may try to search for sleep
Fmaj7           G/E
Even in deepest night
    Dm                 Am
The softest voice will sing

[Outro]
Am           G/B
When all but night has gone
Dm                           C   G/B
   And hands are filled with dust
Am
There's no one else
        G/B
Who can take the blame
Fmaj7                      G
For those deeds are yours alone
    Am             G/B
And everything has gone away
   Dm         C     G/B
In ceaseless erosion
       Am
In the languid sand
    G/B
The seeds of pain
Fmaj7                     G   G#dim Am
    Are sown to grow once again
