[Verse 1]
D5
In their lofty chambers dwell
The sacred and divine
Resting in seraphic bliss
The timeless and sublime
Far above the mortal sphere
Dreaming without a care
Far above the weeping world
                             G5
Sleeping amidst the light of stars

[Bridge]
                         Bb5/F D5 F5 G5
Too far away to hear our calls
                        Bb5/F D5 Bb5/F
Too far away to care at all

[Verse 2]
D5
On the burnished thrones they sit
Might in their blazing eyes
Vault of heaven at their feet
Undying flames inside
Never shall decay or death
Touch on the blithe souls
Sorrowless the days of gods
                        G5
Amidst the everblooming groves

[Bridge]
                         Bb5/F D5 F5 G5
Too far away to hear our calls
                        Bb5/F D5 Bb5/F
Too far away to care at all

[Interlude]
D5
    F5         Bb5/F             C5/G        F5 G5
But where do we     lay our heads    to rest?
D5                C5/G              Bb5/F
  Where do we shelter when the night     falls?
A5/E C5/G F5

[Chorus]
D5
For the part of man
                      F5
Is to take the sombre path
Bb5/F
Stumble in the dark
       Bb5/F              F5 G5
Stray amidst the dust and ash
D5
Like forgotten ghosts
         C5/G
Drifting in  the driving wind
  Bb5/F
Dashing towards the void
         A5/E                Bb5/F F5
Whirling blindly through the night
D5                F5         Bb5/F
  Like water flung  from the highest cliff
   Bb5/F F5 G5
We fall 
D5
Lunge
Swirl
        C5/G
Dissolve
             Bb5/F
And fade away
     A5/E Bb5/F   F5 D5/A
Down into     the unknown
