This is the end 00:33

Hold your breath and count to ten 00:38

Feel the earth move and then 00:45

Hear my heart burst again 00:51

For this is the end 00:58

I've drowned and dreamt this moment 01:03

So overdue, I owe them 01:10

Swept away, I'm stolen 01:17

Let the sky fall 01:24

At sky fall 01:55

02:00

Skyfall is where we start 02:02

A thousand miles and poles apart 02:08

Where worlds collide and days are dark 02:14

You may have my number 02:18

You can take my name 02:20

But you'll never have my heart 02:23

What you see, I see 03:22

I know I'd never be me 03:25

Without the security 03:28

Of your loving arms 03:32

Keeping me from harm 03:35

Put your hand in my hand 03:38

And we'll stand 03:41

Let the sky fall (let the sky fall) 03:44

[English]

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue, I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At sky fall
At sky fall

Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number
You can take my name
But you'll never have my heart
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At sky fall
(Let the sky fall)
(When it crumbles)
(We will stand tall)

(Let the sky fall)
(When it crumbles)
(We will stand tall)
Where you go, I go
What you see, I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At sky fall
Let the sky fall

We will stand tall
At sky fall

Ooh...
