   cold world
 Am        C       G            Em
Leave me alone isolation bears hope
         F                         D           
There's something else waiting a promised destiny
  Am      C         G            Em
Freezing me I feel restless and low
        F                       D               G  
These days full of shadows had joyfully changed into fear
      F             G      Am
My freakshow will start tonight
       F     G  Am    D
Don't miss the right time
  Am          F         G       Am 
Bright Eyes blinded by fear of life
    F         G     Am
No Merlin is by my side
         C            D
And it grabbed inside
       F           G       Bm 
It possessed and frayed my mind
G            A                  Bm   
The Lord of Darkness  takes my soul
G           A                 E    Bm E  G
And when I left the light it seems so easy
E            Bm             E   G
Everything's out of control
Hey mother stubborn I really hate you
If you say yes I will say no
Ashes to ashes and dust won't be dust
If you go there I will go back
 Am           F         G       Am
Bright Eyes blinded by fear of light
    F     G  Am D  
Betrayed by sunlight
Am            F         G       Am
Bright Eyes blinded by fear of life
    F         G     Am
No Merlin is by my side

Hey father stubborn
You're ying and I'm young
I feel alone, who really cares ?
Born into ashes to lose all the games
With a smiling face, a smiling face
Bright Eyes blinded by fear of light
And dark Dragons ride
Bright Eyes blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side
      Am       F         Am                   F  
So I sit still in my room   Winter's here in Summer season
Am                   F                 Am              F     G     Am
Shall  I say I was wrong if  I'm right , and farewell to my final hope
