🤘 Verse:

E minorEm               C majorC
Who stole your heartbeat in the night?
  E minorEm            C majorC
The acolytes fearful in the flickering light
E minorEm          C majorC
They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth
  E minorEm              C majorC       E minorEm
But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south

E minorEm            C majorC
Another winter's tale is done
E minorEm           C majorC
Your immortal lover is gone
  E minorEm
The chalice stolen from her hand
C majorC
Eternal life at her command
  E minorEm           C majorC
Now all that she rules must see

The wraiths of night caress
  E minorEm   G+G   A augmentedA   G+G F#F# D MajorD  E minorEm
And whisper softly now, 'We are the dead'
   G+G     A augmentedA   F#F#
They bear your life away
   E minorEm    G+G     A augmentedA
They tear your heart in two

They've taken the queen

Back to the earth, sealing the tomb

The whole court and the beast enter your room
  G+G     A augmentedA    F#F#
The wraiths of night caress
