I burned out my eyes
I cut off my tongue
I sealed them with all of the silver
And now I have none
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the
You own the darkness
And taken my sight
You buried the stars underground
You've stolen the night
You can run to the sea
You can run to the forest
You can hide, but you'll never escape
You've run out of lies
You've run out of time
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the sun

Tuning: D G C F A D
Tuning: Standard D
The main riff bellow is actually played by both guitars in two different tones that
overlaps each other. I made it possible for you ro play it with only one guitar.

Then after playing this riff, you go back to playing the same thing one more time. It`s
basicaly the same structure once again untill you meet the pre-chorus or whatever you`ll
call it.
"You can run to the sea..."
