Am                                  Dm
There is no turning back, from this unending
         Am
path of mine
                           Dm               Am
Serpentine and black, it stands before my eyes
                            Dm          Am
To hell and back, it will lead me once more
                        Dm                    F
It's all i have, as i stumble in and out of grace

Chorus:
                    C           G     F
I walk through the gardens, of dying light,
                   C       G
And cross all the rivers, deep and dark as the
 F
night
                 C           G
Searching for a reason, why time would've
           Dm G
passed us by

With every step I take, the less I know myself
And every vow I break on my way towards your heart
Countless times I've prayed for forgiveness
But Gods just laugh at my face
And this path remains leading me into solitude's
arms

Chorus:
                   C            G        F
I see through the darkness, my way back home
                  C            G          F
The journey seems endless, but i'll carry on
                  C          G        Dm  G
The shadows will rise and, they will fall
                         Dm  G
And our night drowns in dawn

Amidst all the tears, there's a smile
That all angels greet with an envious song
One look into stranger's eyes
And I know where I belong

Chorus:
I walk through the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time would've passed
us by

Oh I see through the darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless, but I'll carry on
The shadows will rise and they will fall
And our night drowns in dawn

The shadows, they rise and they fall, yeah
And the night drowns in dawn
