Bb                 C#
Why should all the wise survive
     Bb                     F
When nothing is what it may seem
Ab             D#m
Why do all the living die
     Ab             D#m
When only the dying remain
Bb               F      C#
Helpless are the broken wishes
Bb     F        Bb     F
Dashed upon the window pane

Ab                D#m
