G
I’m here again
             D#
No place and everywhere
               C
Black bark and smouldering air
        A#
My influence

[Verse 2]
 G
Another turn
        D#
Another peace to shun
            C
Gauntlet of frost to run
         G#
No difference

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines

G
Time and space on the frailest veil
D#
Frozen cold in the static
C
Bloody blades under hatred’s sails
G#
Tearing out through the fabric

[Chorus]
               G
The shimmer of white skies
  A#
I spin to and fro
             D#
A flicker of wild eyes
      C
Gifts I can’t control
               G
The shimmer of white skies
    A#                   D#
The legacy leashed in my cries
      C
Shall reign over bitter white skies

[Bridge 1]
G  G#  A#  D#  C  x2

[Verse 3]
  G
I pay the debt
         D#
Muse to another’s song
         C
Heir to another’s wrongs
  A#
Unwanted crown

[Verse 4]
      G
Dance on the wind
                  D#
Through space and time I swirl
         C
The lady of the worlds
      G#
Don’t hold me down

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines

G
Wake the wolf with a distant roar
D#
Strands of ash separated
C
To entwine on a misty shore
A#
Troubled lives ever fated

[Chorus]
               G
The shimmer of white skies
  A#
I spin to and fro
             D#
A flicker of wild eyes
      C
Gifts I can’t control
               G
The shimmer of white skies
    A#                   D#
The legacy leashed in my cries
      C
Shall reign over bitter white skies

[Bridge 2]
G  G#  A#  D#  C  x2
(Weave these strands of ash together
Warm our hands on the embers of time)
G  G#  A#  D#  C  x2

[Chorus]
               G
The shimmer of white skies
    A#
She spins to and fro
             D#
A flicker of wild eyes
      C
She’s losing control
               G
The shimmer of white skies
    A#                      D#
I’m haunted at night by her cries
                C
Yeah I’m frozen cold....

               G
The shimmer of white skies
  A#
I spin to and fro
             D#
A flicker of wild eyes
      C
Gifts I can’t control
               G
The shimmer of white skies
    A#                D#
The worth I no longer defy
      C
Shall reign over bitter white skies

[Outro]
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines
G
Back and forth on the pendulum
D#
Swinging hard towards the outside
C
Smash the walls of the clocks and run
A#
Overcoming the confines
