D/A
Cold nights, dark days
 F/A
Love moves in mysterious ways
          D/A
It's so sweet like a mother's tongue
  F/A
Whose symphony protects her young

But this truth ain't what it seems
Because you and I have different dreams
You rise up but you never learn
As we try to shake this sleep that burns

G               F              G
The darkness screams its icy breath
             F               A
As daylight dies a thousand deaths

Chorus:
 A        G F# F    D     G      A#     C
Kings of oblivion, deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion, welcome to my revolution

Reach out to the past
We blame the victim first and last
Blind faith got you and me
Running like a refugee

We fall out and into the street
To wash the blood out of the sheets
And your pain, it flows like wine
As my subconscious reaps your mind

I stretch to kiss the burning sky
And watch the waking beauty cry

Chorus

Is it such a crime to watch the sunset for the last time
Until we meet again, goodbye, farewell, amen
Cold nights, dark days
Love moves in mysterious ways

We rise up but you'll never learn
As we try to shake this sleep that burns
The darkness screams its icy breath
As daylight dies a thousand deaths

Chorus - x2
