Not long to go now, no more will we stand                            just listen to it and you should 
  Dm                                                                          get the feel for it.
Invincible, sure and superior                                            
       Gm
We are fallible weak and inferior
      Dm
As we slip and we slide down the long mountainside
          
We’re the debris of a lost human tide

PRE BRIDGE
***********
          Dm
There's a feeling I can feel
       Gm
As the clockwork clicks around
          F#m          A7
There's a shadow after me
       Bb
And it waits without a sound
       Dm
I'm so tired of standing by
          Gm 
While the fates design my life
     Dm            F#m
They never tell me why
               Dm
The world must die!

Dm                               Bb
Surely there is someone to reach out
Dm                               Bb
Surely there is someone to reach out

CHORUS
*******
   Dm
As time slips through my fingers
         Fm
There's a void where the hope used to be
   Dm
As time flows through my fingers
       Fm
We see visions that no one should see
         C#
And it's cold
   G#m
So cold out here
         C#
And it's cold
             Dm
When there's so much to fear


-----------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
   Dm
As time slips through my fingers
     Fm
I am blinded and alone
   Dm
As time flows through my fingers
     Fm
I am haunted by demons I have always known
         C#
And it's cold
   G#m
So cold out here
         C#
And it's cold
             Fm
When there's so much to fear… so near!
