[Verse 1]
 G5       A5   A#5    E5
When darkness falls, may it be
  G5     F#5    G5      E5
That we should see the light
  G5     A5  A#5    E5
When reaper calls, may it be
  G5    F#5     G5         E5
That we walk straight and right
 G5        A5   A#5     E5
When doubt re---turns, may it be
 G5         F#5   G5  E5
That faith shall permeate our scars
 G5        A5   A#5     E5
When we’re se---duced, then may it be
 G5     F#5  G5  E5
That we not deviate our cause
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E5    D5    G5    E5    D5   G5
 All sinners,  a future
E5    D5    G5    E5    D5   G5
 All saints,   a past
E5     D5   G5     E5    B5
 Beginning,    the ending

 Return
B5     G5
 To ash

We can live forever

[Verse 2]
   G5    A5  A#5   E5
When all is pain, may it be
G5       F#5   G5     E5
It’s all we’ve ever known
  G5        A5   A#5    E5
When flame con--sumes, may it be
G5       F#5  G5    E5
It warms our dying bones
  G5       A5   A#5   E5
When loss has  won,  may it be
G5       F#5   G5    E5
It’s you I’m  madly fighting for
  G5      A5   A#5    E5
When kingdom  comes, may it be
 G5      F#5    G5      E5
We walk right through that open door

              When darkness falls
May it be
That we should see the light

When reaper calls
May it be
That we walk straight and right

When doubt returns
May it be
That faith shall permeate our scars

When we're seduced
Then may it be
That we not deviate our cause

All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash

Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever

When all is pain
May it be
It's all we've ever known

When flame consumes
May it be
It warms our dying bones

When loss has won
May it be
It's you I'm madly fighting for

When Kingdom comes
May it be
We walk right through that open door

All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash

Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live forever

All sinners, a future
All saints, a past
Beginning, the ending
Return to ash

Now that we're dead, my dear
We can be together
Now that we're dead, my dear
We can live, we can live forever

Return to ashes, shed this skin
Beyond the black, we rise again
We shall live forever
