Dm                Dm               Am           Am
This is bleak but     in beautiful translation
       Dm             Dm          Am     Am
From infinity, to the pen, to the mouth
Dm         Dm          Am   Am
I sing for    the undertow
Dm       Dm       C  Am Dm          Dm    C   Am 
Darkling,   I listen to its crash upon my shore


Bb Bb C Am

Bb                  Bb          C    
These scars are but memories to cheris;
Am                     Bb
Promises carved into a chasm wall
Bb       C                   Am
I remain hidden inside their words,
Bb            Bb      C        Am
Composed like bronze, I bend a knee
Bb         Bb       C            Am
Before the sun that dives in the sea


Dm (x8)
When I die, fling my ashes high, for the wind to disperse


F F F Am Am Am F F F Am Am Am

F                 F            Am     Am
All my intentions    remain ethereal,
F                F         Am  Am
All of my dreams   impossible,
Bb                              Bb                            Am     Am
Save the ones I lived, save the ones I lived, save the ones I lived.      x2
