[Verse 1]
B
 Between the whispers
  Em                            B
A lonely candle flickers and it slowly fades
  Em
Into its grave
B
 And as if knowing
  Em                                B
Enchantment slowly runs her fingers down my spine
  Em
A jagged line
B                 Em
 Who waits for me ? 
B    Am       G        Em       C
 Who waits so long, so long, so long...
            F                    C
And shall I wait? For dawn won't come
           F           B
Or shall I sink into myself?

[Verse 2]
All is disquiet
  Em
A dark,
                           B
assassin spirit draws back from the room
     Em
Time folds in two
B
 I've vexed him surely
    Em
I'm ravaged by my need for light
     B
It's all I feel, all I see
  Em
I live and breathe and cry and die
    C
For Love
            F              C
And shall I cast composure down?
            F           D#
And shall I wait forevermore?
          A#          A
I hear so sorrowful a sound

Bm          G              D
  Maybe, in time I'll fly away
Bm                G              D
  And trade these wings in for a life

[Verse 3]
                  C
A life where I am stronger and
                         G
A place where there's no sleepless nights
                  D
Or Moonlit arches cover me
                          C
These paintings and these statues stare
                G
Chastised and imprisoned here alone
           C
Under your stars

[Verse 4]
B
So was it all worth it?
                                 C
To sing out my song and to scream
B
I had the fire
The passion and will
                                C  B
My dedication mistaken for disloyalty
I'm lost in the heavens
       C  B
Statue in time
Like ghosts in a prison
         C A
And come undone

[Verse 5]
And all those living out their lives in company of riders
Silent and deliberate as they're counting out their coin
I just can't relinquish my opinion that I'm so much
different
Insolent,
their sins have drug then down into the deep

[Verse 6]
Bm             A      G
  The race not to the swift
The prize, she just never fell,
D
right to the brave
                     Bm
A long, long time ago
              A       G
And somewhere lost in all the rage
             D
I was just a brush stroke away
                               Bm
And the wind has caught the sails
             A    G
No one who's ever knelt here before
               D
Has stopped to count up the cost
                              Bm
They're gone, gone, lost in time
            A    G                                  D
Can love be so indulgent that it blinds you to your faith?
                   C
And in the end the weight is all but lifted off
          G
The stars continue on their course
        D
And you fall away
C
All comes around
        G
Another good man goes down
           D C G
He floods awa_y

[Verse 7]
Bm                             F#
Sorrow cannot bind me like the common thief
          Em
I'll come out and I'll shine
            F#
Just like a caustic ray of...
Bm                         F#
All of the raised here the choirs alive
            Em             F#m
It's just a matter of words   spoke
    G          A
Out over the river of time
Bm                 F#
Gone off to war or gone off to hate
           Em                F#m
You see me brandish the torch   and
    G                 A
The sword of your fate is real
Bm                       F#
I walk alone through the spiritless void
      Em               F#m
All account of my love,   oh
   G                  A
My sweet flowing love, lost in vain
Bm
On and on
    F#
And on and on
    Em       F#m
And on and on
    G
And on and on
    A             B
And on and on and on.
