Here is the full version of one my favourite metal songs of all time, complete with the 'death growl' verse. [Intro] C#5 E5 D#5 D5 C#5 E5 F#5 D5 (x2) [Verse 1]
Bm        G             Bm
Along the way I find myself

         D        D/C#
To be confined within me

Bm           G           D              Em  C
No place for any others mind to interfere,

Bm
To grasp the meaning of it all

        D       D/C#
To overcome my limits 

Bm          D            Em            F#
And dance away from any void and empty tones,
[Bridge 1]
             C#5 E5 D#5
Just tell me why

D5           C#5   E5     F#5       D5 N.C.
Just tell me how I can survive this time
[Verse 2]
Bm                    G     Bm
Believe yourself and look away

                D        D/C#
From all that's right within you

Bm              G              D              Em   C
Leave all your worries at the door and drift away,

Bm             G             Bm
I've tried to peer into the core

               D        D/C#
But could not storm the sorrow

Bm         D                 Em              F#
My hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray
[Bridge 2]
        C#5 E5 D#5 D5
Another time

          C#5 E5 F#5
Without a trace

 D5        C#5 E5 D#5
Condemn me now

D5         C#5      E5    F#5   D5 N.C.
Send me to hell for I'm already failing
[Chorus]
Em
   Intertwine the lines

     Bm
That swim beneath the dark

            D
Realize the pain we live in

             A                     Em
Demonize the need we reel in, no-o-o

                        Bm
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know

             D
Centuries of dreams unending

                A                                Bsus4
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
[Verse 3]
Bm             (G)        Bm
No time should ever go to waste

               D    D/C#
It's not that complicated

Bm             G                 D
You're free to live your life at ease

            Em     C
No more restraints

Bm           (G)            Bm
No heed for shadows on your way

             D          D/C#
That try to steal your laughter

Bm              D               Em
Your light will drive them all away

         F#
Be confident
[Bridge 3]
         C#5 E5 D#5 D5
Will I refrain?

        C#5 E5 F#5
Can I repent?

D5          C#5 E5 D#5
Will you be there?

D5        C#5      E5   F#5      D5 N.C.
Erase the page for I'm alone and ailing
[Chorus]
Em
   Intertwine the lines

     Bm
That swim beneath the dark

            D
Realize the pain we live in

             A                     Em
Demonize the need we reel in, no-o-o

                        Bm
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know

             D
Centuries of dreams unending

                A                                Bsus4   Cmaj7#11
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
['Growl' Verse]
Bm   C
So, this is my life and it can't break me down

Bm                C
Go, I will decide who can come in and heal my disease

Bm            N.C.
Burn it in flames

Bm            N.C.
Kill it and maim

C                                        N.C.
Why can't you see that you need to be freed?
[Softer Chorus]
Em                        Bm
   Intertwine the lines beneath the dark

             D
Every bit of pain we're feeling

            A                 Em
Every other solemn life, no-o-o

                         Bm
In the memories you will find somehow

                   D
There used to be a dream unending

                A
No more need to be alone
[Chorus] (key change)
F#m
    Intertwine the lines

     C#m
That swim beneath the dark

            E
Realize the pain we live in

             B                     F#m
Demonize the need we reel in, no-o-o

                        C#m
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know

             E
Centuries of dreams unending

                B                                C#5  E5  D#5  D5
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed

            C#5  E5  F#5  D5
Someone had betrayed
C#5 E5 D#5 D5 C#5
