[Intro] | Gm | Gm | Gm | Eb/G Gm | x2 [Verse 1]

Em
Breathing the night sky all alone

Em                      C         B
On through the darksome desert I roam

Em
Last of the hidden steps of life

Em                     C            B
Trembling I cross it - what will I find?

[Pre-chorus 1]

       Am               Em
As the lonely shades of you

      G              D
Do descend so crystalline

     Am              Em                 D
If I were a soul I'd speak your name and fly

      Am              Em
Never have no spirits been

        G              D
Flowing back to wonder fields

       Am                Em             D
As the starlight and the dewdrops fade away, to be...

[Chorus]

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C    D
  In the eye of wisdom

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C   Bm
  Under ground and sea

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C     D         C     Dsus4
  Kingdom of forever!

Em
(Tuoni opеn up)

C         D
  Through the eye of wisdom

Em
(Tuoni opеn up)

C      Bm
  Tell me, will I see

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C    D           C       Dsus4
  Every soul's endeavor?

[Interlude] | Gm | Gm | Gm | Eb/G Gm | x2 [Verse 2]

Em
Plains deserted – do I dream?

Em             C         B
Woeful island, endless streams

Em
Truth transcending into the flow

Em                C        B
Turns to dust the waves I know

[Pre-chorus 2]

       Am             Em
In the distance you behold

         G               D
From the east, a gliding swan

       Am               Em              D
On its face of blue the river veils the dawn

        Am               Em
For the past within your chest

        G                 D
Will no more your heart caress

      Am             Em               D
And encircled by the darkness you now touch the depths...

[Chorus]

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C    D
  In the eye of wisdom

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C   Bm
  Under ground and sea

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C     D         C
  Kingdom of forever!

Dsus4
     Oh, a kingdom forever!

Em
(Tuoni opеn up)

C         D
  Through the eye of wisdom

Em
(Tuoni opеn up)

C      Bm
  Tell me, will I see

Em
(Tuoni open up)

C    D           C
  Every soul's endeavor?

Dsus4               G
     Every soul's endeavor?
