A          E          F#m      D

A Whole new night, Radiant Souls,

As a sea is fed by melting snow the structures built by heated coal

I feel so far, from the morning light

Brilliant minds take in the air, and suffocate without a care

A         E          Bm                    A         E          D

I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day

Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining down   B-

D         E          F#m       C#m      D

A          E          F#m      D

Impressions make, a grand facade

Mighty is deception’s will, A house of truth is stronger still

A         E          Bm                    A         E          D

I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day

Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining down

B-        E

C#m      Bm                                                        C#m      D         E

So much is said but does it all mean much, can words for storms that darken the sky

I know I have lived lies for a day, but now I strive for honesty I changed

F#m       E          Bm        A         E          D                     A         E          Bm        A         E          D         Bm

Am I safe in my actions, while all those words are raining

A           E          Bm                    A         E          D

I know what I want to say, but words don’t save the day
