VERSE:
              
I wish that I could be
              
In the cellars of the sea
                
And disappear in them
            
Never to be seen again

       
Live this life
                
Its unrelenting appetite
                
For feeding off the weak
                    
Who never had their time to speak

PRECHORUS:
                 
The sky will be my shroud
              
A monumental cloud

CHORUS: (play intro riff)
                                      
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
                                                
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black

VERSE:
       
Give me your hand
             
Cut the skin, let me in
               
The molecules of us
             
Bleeding into one again

PRECHORUS:
                 
The sky will be my shroud
                  
The cenotaph of cloud


CHORUS: (play intro riff)
                                      
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
                                               
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black
                                       
Forgotten my way home, forgotten everything that I know
                                       
Every day a false start, and it burns my heart

BRIDGE 1:
  
I know
                                    
Everything you said was right, and I suppose
                                  
Everything is here forever, till it goes
                                      
You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself
Just a picture on the shelf

FRENCH:

Je souhaiterais merger
Dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparatre
Pour ne plus jamais tre vu

BRIDGE 2:
        
Burning up now
                                   
And I'm racing down a road I don't recognise
I realise I've

CHORUS(play intro riff):
                                     
Forgotten my way home, forgotten everything that I know
                                          
Every day a false start, and it burns my heart
