   Am               F
No sign of life did flicker
   Am                    Em
In floods of tears she cried
 F                    E

          G
You will take it away from me
Am                     F

                 G
The misty cloud brought

(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)

Monstrous it covered the shore
Am                  G
Fearful into the unknown"

'til the world's end                   
(It can't be broken

I can still hear these voices inside)
