Like a black stone, a hopeless crime

Past the fields, past the towns

Up and down

If i rest i am sure you are there waiting
For my mind to break down

And your soul to take control

[Refrão] I am here, i'm not going down
F# C#
I will carry on to do what i must do

To see the truth behind your whispering lies

I am not yours to take down

I covered my face in the darkest night
A Em
Changed my name and foolish hopes

You are still lingering here in every thought

Still myself and still yours

If i rest i am sure you are there waiting
For my mind to break down

And your soul to take control

Someday i'll turn my head around

And i'll look you straight in the eye

You are all i fear for you are all i love,

My decay.
