(Verse 1)
Am Dm
The endless night swallows us whole,
E Am
Children, men, and friends we knew;
Am Dm
Beneath our feet, the filthy coal,
E Am
Dust in our lungs, our beds askew.
(PreChorus1)
C C/B Am
From the abyss, the darkness calls,
F G Am
Rising fumes, acidic, cruel,
C C/B Am
The dreaded cloud, our fatal fall,
F G E7
Creeping through the tunnels’ rule.
(Chorus)
F C
Dust ignites in the hollow dark,
F C
A breath of fire, a deadly spark.
F C
The mountain sighs, the walls collapse,
E7 A
While shadows dance in fate’s cruel grasp
(Verse 2)
Am Dm
The flames now flicker, faint and frail,
E Am
The kingdom of the black takes hold,
Am Dm
A freezing silence, sharp and pale,
E Am
We’re left alone here in the cold.
(PreChorus2)
C C/B Am
From the abyss, the darkness calls,
F G Am
Rising fumes, acidic, cruel,
C C/B Am
The dreaded cloud, our fatal fall,
F G E7
Creeping through the tunnels’ rule. (Chorus)
F C
Dust ignites in the hollow dark,
F C
A breath of fire, a deadly spark.
F C
The mountain sighs, the walls collapse,
E7 A
While shadows dance in fate’s cruel grasp
(Verse 3)
Am Dm
A sudden burst of blue, so bright,
E Am
Burns the souls of those enslaved,
Am Dm
In this pit of endless night,
E Am
Our final days, our fate misplaced.
(PreChorus3)
C C/B Am
The arches of our cathedral cave,
F G Am
Collapse on comrades, cursed and brave,
C C/B Am
Beneath the stones, so cold, so grave,
F G E7
Their bodies lie in dust’s embrace
(Chorus)
F C
Dust ignites in the hollow dark,
F C
A breath of fire, a deadly spark.
F C
The mountain sighs, the walls collapse,
E7 A
While shadows dance in fate’s cruel grasp
