  C#m            C#m 
I stare into the hourglass 
     G#m            C#m 
On a dark midwinter day 
A                F#m          G#sus4 G# 
Year by year the time slipped away 
   G#m                   C#m 
My thoughts turn back to distant times 
       G#m        C#m 
And to faded memories 
A              F#m7          G#sus4 G# 
Back to mystic path in berry trees 
 

 
A              A              G#      G# 
  On a bleak horizon a deeper kind of sin 
 

 
C#m          C#m        A 
   Midwinter snow still falling 
            A 
The lure of death keeps calling 
F#m          F#m        G#sus4 G# 
   I stare into the hourglass 
C#m            C#m 
    Here in my darkest hour 
A             A 
  My heart is so devoured 
F#m       F#m             G#sus4 G# 
   Mortality my time will come 
 

 
C#m                 C#m           G#m         C#m 
   There was time I waited at the edge of sanity 
    A            F#m             G#sus4 G# 
For you to come along and set me free 
   C#m            C#m                 G#m          C#m 
As time passed by day by day I waited all my lif away 
  A          F#m      G#sus4 G# 
I saw my sanity led astray 
 

 
A           A               G#sus4    G# 
  Come find winter sky ver since you passed away 
 

 
C#m           C#m 
    Midwinter snow still falling 
A             A 
  The lure of death keeps calling 
F#m           F#m        G# 
    I stare into the hourglass

F#m        F#m        G#   G#sus4  G# 
    Mortality my time will come 
 

 
A             A          G#m          G#m 
  How waiting every hour lose to afterlife 
F#m             F#m                    C#m           
   How was your path through here that faded out of sight
