:[Verse 1]:
Am F
Nocturnal poetry:
Dm G Am
Dressed in the whitest silver, you'd smile at me
F G
Every night I wait for my sweet Selene
Em
But, still...
:[Verse 2]:
Am F
Solitude's upon my skin
Dm G Am
A life that's bound by the chains of reality
F G
Would you let me be your Endymion?
:[Pre-Chorus]:
Dm Em F G
I would bathe in your moonlight and slumber in peace
Dm Em F G
Enchanted by your kiss in forever sleep
:[Chorus]:
Am C G Am
But until we unite I live for that night
Dm Em F G
Wait for time Two souls entwine
Am C G Am
In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn
Dm Em F G
Shadows, they will fade But I'm always in the shade
Am
Without you...
:[Verse 3]:
Am F
Serene and silent sky
Dm G Am
Rays of moon are dancing with the tide
F G
A perfect sight, a world divine
Em
And I...

:[Verse 4]:
Am F
The loneliest child alive
Dm G Am
Always waiting, searching for my rhyme
F G
I'm still alone in the dead of night
:[Pre-Chorus]:
Dm Em F G
Silent I lie with smile on my face,
Dm Em F G
Appearance deceives and the silence betrays
:[Chorus]:
Am C G Am
As I wait for the time My dream comes alive
Dm Em F G
Always out of sight But never out of mind
Am C G Am
And under waning moon Still I long for you
Dm Em F G Am
Alone against the light Solitude am I
:[Part]:
F Em Am
In the end, I'm enslaved by my dream
F Em Am
In the end, there's no soul who'd bleed for me

:[Part]:
Em
Hidden from daylight I'm sealed in my cave
C
Trapped in a dream that is slowly turning to a nightmare
Where I'm all alone.
D
Venial is life when you're but a dream
Em
The book is still open, the pages as empty as me...
:[Chorus]:
Am C G Am
But until we unite I live for that night
Dm Em F G
Wait for time Two souls entwine
Am C G Am
In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn
Dm Em F G
We will never meet Only Misery and me
:[Chorus]:
Am C G Am
This is my final call My evenfall
Dm Em F G
Drowning into time I become the night
Am C G Am
By the light of new day I'll fade away
Dm Em F G
Reality cuts deep Would you bleed with me
Am
My Selene
[Outro]
Am Am
