In [Gm]ages [F]forgotten,a [Ebmaj7]Reaper was born

[Gm]Spinning tales [F]deathly [Ebmaj7]belief

A [Gm]yearning to [F]traverse that [Ebmaj7]forest of thorns

In [Ebmaj7]remembrance of [F]what lie [Gm]beneath

The [Gm]dangers abounding, the horrors untold

Cloud my [Gm]vision, 'till [F]I cannot [Bb]see[C]

[Gm]Peculiar enchantments begin to unfold

And the [Ebmaj7]Underworld [F]calls back to [Gm]me

 

[G]　[Cm]　[G]As the [Ebmaj7]light grows [F]dimmer and [Csus4]fades...[C]

[G]　[Cm]　[G]　[F]Cross that [Ebmaj7]river now,

Make our [C]way beyond the gates

 

[Dm]Release from our confinement

[Am]Together, we'll find it

The [Bb]trail is fraught with perils,

And [C]yet, we don't [Am]mind it

 

But [Dm]looking towards horizons [Am]reminding me of then

Can't [Gsus4]repent

Though I've [Csus4]hardly been [C]spent

 

A [Dm]journey downward toward somewhere [Am]new, yet familiar

I'm [Bb]learning how to stand

For the [C]smile I [Am]swear to [Dm]defend

 

[Dm]Till the end

As we [Am]further descend, [Ab]then

Shall we [Dbmaj7]go？

To be swallowed fates [Gm]below

[Gm]　[C]　[Ebmaj7]　[F]　[C]　[Ebmaj7]　[F]

 

A [Gm]moment in [F]history, a [Ebmaj7]flicker in time

A [Gm]mystery I [F]still can't break [Ebmaj7]through

Im [Gm]deathly [F]defiant of [Ebmaj7]crossing that line,

I don't [Ebmaj7]want to break [F]down before [Gsus4]you…[G]

 

Reach [Gm]downward to [F]glory, yet [Ebmaj7]upward- what for？

An [Ebmaj7]ouroboros of [F]earthly [Bb]desire[C]

[Gm]Devouring my [F]tale just to [Ebmaj7]tell it once more

Am I [Ebmaj7]still the gold [F]statue you [Gm]admire？

[Gm]　[Ab]　[G]　[Cm]　[G]

[G]　[F]　[Csus4]　[C]　[G]　[Cm]　[G]　[F]　[Ebmaj7]　[C]

 

[Ebmaj7]Collecting all the stories we've [Bb/D]enjoyed

And [Cm7]reflecting on the thorns that near [Gm]destroyed me

 

I [Ebmaj7]sang about a journey's end, and [Bb/D]now we come [Ab]upon

[Dbmaj7]Another one

The sun setting [Fsus4]earlier than [F]believed

 

From [Bb/D]this point downward, I cannot [Ebmaj7]return

For the [F]final dream I sought is so [Gm]close yet [F]far within my [Cm]reach

 

Though I'd like it to be [Bb/D]known

This I [Ab]made on my [Dbmaj7]own[C/D]　[D]

 

[Dm]Release from our confinement

[Am]Together, we'll find it

The [Bb]trail is fraught with perils,

And [C]maybe all [Am]is as it should [Dm]be.

I promise I'll [Am]still be me

My [Gm]mistakes

Somehow made a [Csus4]good story [C]great

 

A [Dm]journey downward toward somewhere [Am]new, yet familiar

I'm [Bb]learning how to stand

For the [C]smiles I [Am]swear to [Dm]defend

[Dm]Till the end

As we [Am]further descend, [Ab]then

Shall we [Dbmaj7]go？

Swallowed up by what waits [Gm]below
