[Verse 1]
E5      D5                   E5      D5        B5  C5    D5 G5 D5
Screams falling out of the sky, Blackness encloses me
E5      D5                     E5      D5               B5 C5    D5
Strange visions flickering to die, Twisted shape of eternity
E5       D5              E5        D5          B5  C5  D5
Freezing wind bites my flesh, Rips it off over the bone
E5       D5               E5        D5              B5  C5     D5 E5
Stranded in the night forever, Pain makes me scream and groan

[Pre-Chorus]
C          D                C                   B
  I can no longer break the shields of my loneliness
C          D              C               B                 E5
  I'm only waiting in the everlasting fortress of midwinter nights

[Verse 2]
E5   D5                       E5        D5     B5   C5    D5 G5 D5
Soul lost in anger and frustration, Darkness enters me
E5     D5              E5            D5               B5 C5    D5
Ruins, decay and desolation are left from my world to be seen
E5  D5                     E5      D5                B5   C5     D5
Out in the snow with my ghosts, Howling in the woods with beasts
E5   D5                      E5           D5             B5 C5    D5 E5
Blackhearted grief swells in me, Gone too far for anyone to reach

[Pre-Chorus]
C          D                C                   B
  I can no longer break the shields of my loneliness
C               D           C            B
  My name is forgotten, I'm only growing less

[Chorus]
E5  G5              D5         E5   D5 C5      D5
   Won't you please let me in, I'll do no harm
E5 G5       D5      E5  D5       G5 A5
   Oh can't you see I'm in great pain
E5  G5              D5         E5       D5 C5      D5
   Won't you please let me in, there'll be no harm
E5 G5       D5         E5 D5     G5 A5 B5 A5        E5
   My heart just can't bear this chain of midwinter nights
