[C][G][Am][G][Am][Bb][Am]

[Verse 1]
I seek the [Am]earth, these [G]timeless tranquil [Am]waves
That have [C]since turned to [G]dust,
an endless [Am]phase.
I carry with me a [G]heavy
heart [Am]of stone,
That be[C]longs deep in[G]side the
place for [Am]which [C]I mourn.

[Verse 2]
[F]Beyond lov[Am]e, beyond lust,
[G]beyond art[Am]
This constant [F]yearning beats in[G]side
[E]more than my own craving [Am]heart.

[Verse 3]
This muse of pas[F]sion stealing
my [Am]restless [G]soul
[Am]Senses intoxic[G]ated takes[C] its toll
[G]Heav[Am]en meets Earth
[F]with dusk's dark kiss
Taste [Am]my love within[Em] this cha[C]lice
It torments the [G]in ner artist.
[Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Devoted reverence for [G]the most
beautiful [Am]dream
Becomes [C]reality [G]out of the
[Am]faintest [C]gleam.[Am]
Worlds come closer with
[G]the touch of your [Am]fire
Winding [C]in to [G]towers of
wordless choirs.
[Am][C]

[Verse 5]
[F]
Beyond [Am]love, beyond lust,
[G]beyond art[Am]
This constant [F]yearning beats in[G]side
[Am]more [E]than my [Am]own c[E]raving h[Am]eart.

[Verse 6]
This muse of pas[F]sion stealing
my [Am]restless [G]soul
[Am]Senses intoxic[G]ated takes[C] its
[G]toll[Am][Em]
[Am]Heaven meets Earth [F]with
dusk's dark kiss
[Am]Taste my love with[Em]in this ch[C]alice
It torments the [G]in ner artist.
