Verse 1:
A     G    A   G
Dark star crashes
A          G          A    G
Pouring its light into ashes
A     G
Reason tatters
    A      G          A         G
The forces tear loose from the axis
A          G
Searchlight casting
A     G           A          G
For faults in the clouds of delusion

Chorus:
A           Asus4 A
Shall we go
   G
You and I
D         Em
While we can?
A  Asus4 A   G          D           Em
Through the transitive nightfall Of diamonds

Verse 2:
A    G    A    G
Mirror shatters
A          G          A    G
In formless reflections of matter
A       G
Glass hand dissolving
  A      G          A         G
To ice petal flowers revolving
A          G
Lady in velvet
A     G           A          G
Recedes in the nights of goodbye

Chorus:
A           Asus4 A
Shall we go

You and I
D         Em
While we can?
A  Asus4 A   G          D           Em
Through the transitive nightfall Of diamonds
