Black has no lyrics, it's instrumental

Nowhere is the place I had begun
Years ago in the mist
I'm not finished so far with my thoughts
I have not found the ring of wisdom and patience
In the forest of October
Dancin' with the clouds in December

Are we going to where the morning never breaks
Do we need to be afraid or hesitate
Cause wherever I go, wherever this here man will go
There´s no way but down, no way but down
Wish I could see but all the lights are blinding me
wish I could see what has been and what will be
wish you could be my saviour
won´t you carry me across the line
Can you heal me cause my broken body aches
I trade yeah anything to make up for my mistakes
Well give me something to ease the pain inside my soul
Come on and black my sky, black my sky
Wish I could see but all the lights are blinding me
Wish I could see but all the lights are blinding me
wish you could be my saviour
won´t you carry me across the line
Way up high in the silvery skies the ending of time I see
Too late now, no solution at hand, no miracle man for me
no miracle man for me
Wish I could see

Black as the deepest sea, the darkness and the shadows
Breeding as the lights are burned out
And the day turns into night
Trapped in a psychic tomb where reality doesn't exists
Trapped in a cage created by fantasy
Now you're left all alone
All alone in the black
With nothing except for your fear
Can you feel death
Death breathing in your neck
Now you are trapped in the black
Can you feel death
Death breathing in your neck
All this horror

So many lives I've confessed
So many lives made a mess
Pushed it all into something
Pushed it all
You turned and everything went black
You turned and everything went black
Wouldn't have tried to compete
Wouldn't have lied but to keep
Something told me it hurt me
Somethings hold
Back
You turned and everything went black
Turned and everything went black
You pushed it all so you'd never see it
You pushed it all...
Laughing and
You're pulling strings
Dancing on the souls of the weak
And you're so pretty
You are.
You're so pretty
You turned and everything went black
Turned and everything went black
You turned and everything went black
You turned and everything went black
I never sought power for power's sake
'cause power in the hands of a dangerous man
Is power in the hands of an enemy
...an enemy of yours an and enemy of mine
Who manipulates kindness
For his own personal highs
And he's counting lines, counting numbers
Counting lines, counting lines, counting numbers
...so don't look at me and sneer
'cause I am nothing like you
The difference is clear
I'm your nigger you build with fear
And I hope I live to see the day
When your ideals go crashing away
To show you that your reflection is as cold
And as black
As the organs that pump blood to your veins
Because, you see...
I never wanted to own you or
Really anything
Just me
But you pushed
Pushed and pushed me
You pushed
Pushed and pushed me...
Pushed it all into something

The gloaming are falling'
The fade into black
The new age of darkness'
The seeds in our minds
The tribe of the force
Now gather their hordes
The Dragons child
Is taking his form
So let it be
So let it grow stronger
Enjoy the destruction
That tear down the old
Our light are black
Our sun are black
The voice of the damned
The prophecy speaks
The misrepresents
The world soon shall see
For the dark is the dawn
The end of false tales
The new generations
Will conquer them all
Give up your gods
Slay your old old gods
Open your eyes' and see...see
Join with the might' or fall...fall
The gloaming are falling'
The fade into black
The new age of darkness'
The seeds in our minds

Feeling the kiss
Enchanted by pain
Burned by the touch
Immortal by flame
Out of control
Released of the fear
Tempted by thought
Invoked by the fear
Painted with the eyes of gloom
Glorified with fate and doom
Masked behind the idol Christ
Blackened thoughts beyond our sight
Injected with poison
Craving for more
Induced by the body
Evening the score
Wet by emotion
Slippery in vain
Joy in destruction
Happiness in pain
Sensitivity extreme with lust
Accepting every inch
Penetrate we must
Eternal thoughts prevail
Deep inside my head

Black is a cast,
And two is a crowd,
And gold rim is an answer.
Black is a crowd.
I am just for you,
As you are not for me
So even if you stop,
You’re sitting here by yourself,
You can never try to answer anymore,
You can never start
And see what you’re doing to me.
Kiss, they were the ones,
They dressed like something so special,
And death is to begin,
caress, I think it’s a sin…
I was alone,
Only ‘til you took me away,
And you can never stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
You will never stop and see,
What you’re doing to me.
I’m alone,
While he was standing next to you,
And days prolong,
Yeah there was time,
just you wait and see,
Waiting for a bottle of truth,
I’m just a lonely guy in my youth,
Waiting for you is all I wanna do,
So if you couldn’t stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
you will never stop and see what you’re doing to me,
You can never stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to answer anything,
You will never stop and see,
What you’re doing to me,
What you’re doing to me,
What you’re doing to me,

sung by William
And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black
Turn the good thing back
Kiss the good thing back
Make the good thing back
Be the good thing back
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
And the black runs deep
Yeah the black runs deep
I guess the black runs deep
I think the black runs deep
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine
Hey you've been saved
Hey you've been saved
And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black
And I guess I can
And I guess I can
Yeah I guess I can
Think I guess I can
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Flee Away
Dead
Ingrowing taste of gloom
Inkling ban
Consider
God denied
Worst case
Flipped away
Many times before
But now it's over
It was a lie
Sadder than yours
For all tears deny
But I can't be strong
Black end come on
Let's fade away
Nevermore
To grey times always near
Damn mistake
Begotten
Torn away
Below all blames
All is bleached
Forget all your sins
Go ahead for bad aims
It was a lie
Sadder than yours
For all tears deny
But I can't be strong
Black end come on
Let's fade away
For you
You had
For never and dead
Be tried be true
That wasn't for you
Let us be down
Without any crown
Embark your bad news
Your traveling's out

(lyrics by Harry Conklin)
Born out of flames descending upon the earth
The master of games for what they are worth
One with the darkness, one with my soul
Black is all power, black is control
It is my control
Black is the meaning of life
I hunger for the black of the night
Black
The color of greed
The answer of hope
The essence of light
Black
The heart inside you
The soul inside me
The power of night
Tis the answer for life
I hold the keys to unlock your dreams
Pleasures beyond this world has ever seen
I am desire. I am control
I am the light and darkness inside your soul

[Music-Iommi, Axen, Kjellberg/Lyrics-Axen, Sjoholm]
Burnt the flowers in my hand, I was almost there
You denial my demand, I was already there
Now I'm losing who I am
Save me now cause all I am is black
Black is black
Turned the water into salt, I was almost dead
Never tried and lost it all, I was already dead
Almost there...
Now I'm losing who I am
Save me now cause all I am is black

Voices call, they call out my name, my name, my name.
Well, they say I'm different. Well I'm not the same, same.
You say you want to, ah, be like me.
Well, boy let me tell ya, you don't know what I've seen.
They say a devil lives in my soul.
I promise not to let him take control.
I'm mindin' my own business.
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong.
Shadows follow so close behind me.
I look in the mirror; I don't like what I see.
Oh, God, can't you help me get outta here, here?
I feel like I'm livin' deep in hell.
I'm mindin' my own business.
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong.
I said that,
I.. I'm mindin', I'm mindin' my own, own
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong.

I'm coming into your town. Night is falling to the ground, but I can still see where you loved yourself before he tore it all down. April 12th, with nobody else around; you were outside the house (where's your mother?), when he put you in the car, when he took you down the road. And I can still see where it was open, the door he slammed closed. It was open, the door he slammed closed. It was open, long ago. But don't lose me now, don't lose me now. Though I know that I'm not useful anyhow, just let me stick around while I tell you, like before, you should say his name the way that he said yours. But you don't want to say his name anymore. Oh, Cynda Moore. Baby daughter on the road, you're wrapped up warm in daddy's coat. And I can still see the cigarette's heat. I can't believe all that you're telling me, what is cutting like the smoke through your teeth as you're telling me "forget it." But if I could tear his throat, and spill his blood between my jaws, and erase his name for good, don't you know that I would? Don't you realize I wouldn't pause, that I would cut him down with my claws if I could have somehow never let that happen? Or I'd call, some black midnight, fuck up his new life where they don't know what he did, tell his brand-new wife and his second kid. Though I tell you, like before, that you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours, you want no part of his life anymore. Oh Cynda Moore, don't lose me now, let me help you out. Though I know that I can't help you anyhow, when I watch you I'm proud. When I tell you twice before that you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours, you want no part of his life anymore. And it'll never be the way it was before, but I wish that you would let me through that door. Let me through that door, baby.

Shallow footsteps echo across the floor. All that once was, I can see no more. With the eyes of a child, you offer
Us the world. With the wounds of the overlooked, I trust in you no more. Bitter(sweet), now I've realized. Drain from me,
Bleed me with a smile. In the eyes of the impressionable, your silhouette shines gold...but in my eyes the truth be
Known...all is black. Bleed me and you will find deep inside...all the pain you've glamorized in me. They say
Reflections never lie...at times I find that hard to believe. That which you project and that which you reflect I now
Truly perceive. The filth you excrete, sickens me like nothing else. As you walk away, and the distance between what
We once knew increases, I find solace in the simple fact that I know...I feel...truth. You're walking a suicide mile

Please don't stop me
But go and leave me
You can't keep me ... inside
Please don't stop me
From being so strange
You can't help me
With your lies
Watch me self-destruct
Please don't stop me
Let me loose in the black
You can't touch me
Because I'm not coming back
Please don't watch me
Eyes burn inside
You can't help me
Or even try
Please go and smash me
Break my bones
You capture then leave me
Like a villain alone
Watch me self-destruct
See the light disappear now
Roll it over the black
I've got to disappear now
And I'm never coming back
Let it roll on over
Everything in sight
It's taken out my feelings
And it's fading out the light

As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
As my eyes are falling fast asleep to me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I never follow what is right
And they wonder sometimes
when they see all the sadness
And pain the truth brings to light
'Cause I can't see no reason
What is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin'
All I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb
As the walls are closing in
And the colours fade to black
And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
And in darkness, all that I can see
The frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of
At mercy are the meek
'Cause I can't see no reason
What is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin'
All I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb ...

Was a cold dark night the ‘witches hour
Around the fire, with the cross turned down
I was looking for something to do
Didn’t know what I was getting into
Chorus:
Complex rituals unknown to man
Souls held by ungodly hands
Black jackal on earth again
As few pray he doesn’t take revenge
Magic charms with the taste for sin
Wicked spectrums man kinds end
Deceiving the universe the time has come
For the children of the unholy one
Chorus
The human race can’t take the pain
Darkness waits on what’s to come again
Signs of evil damnations dawn
Signs of life have now all gone
Chorus
Open my eyes to a nightmare it seems
Just to realize it was all a dream
Open my eyes to a nightmare it seems
Just to realize it was all a dream

Decomposing in this worthless tomb,
Nothingness inhaled, I am consumed.
Starving for the ending to this doom,
We the parasite, our death overdue.
Black!
It's opening.
Oh, how it stares!
So deep,
Into the soul,
So deep into the soul!
Black!
Downfall of decimation!
Black!
It tears apart the night!
Termination sits across my cell,
Waiting patiently to unleash Hell.
Frothing at the mouth, it's hunger tells,
Of the feast I'll soon become, my soul melts.
Black!
It's opening.
Oh, how it stares!
So deep,
Into the soul,
So deep into the soul!
Black!
Downfall of decimation!
Black!
It tears apart the night!
Rain, rain down,
On, this hopeless, scorched abyss.
Rain down,
Termination's, all we're owed.
Rain down, rain, rain down!
Black!
It's opening.
Oh, how it stares!
So deep,
Into the soul,
So deep into the soul!
Black!
Downfall of decimation!
Black!

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
And twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
All the love gone bad, turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky

It's a slow crash
So just close your eyes
And pray we make it out alive
I never said I had any answers
I've only ever been a passenger
In this life
Where time just keeps passing by
I'm afraid this time
Time has left me behind
Fading slowly, everything's turning grey
I'd run towards color
Instead, I run away
It's not the time to react
Here, we just keep moving on
"Swim with the tide or let it roll over you"
The life you had has gone away
The one you'll have... so far
If I could turn back
Just for an instant
I'd find that kid who looks just like me
And tell him
"Go find some dreams before they're all you can see"
This old man
Who doesn't know the man
That he came to be
And all I've learned from dreaming
Is what you dream can be
What destroys you in the end
Then he asked me
"Where do you go when the life you live
Is not the life you love?"
And in that instant, as he starts to fade
I'll make my peace with time
And let it all turn grey
I'll remember everything
I wanted to say
And Turn to mouth the words
As he slips away
"The lives we live are not the lives we love

(by Pearl Jam)
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

Black is the colour of your contradiction
Black is the colour of your forgotten dreams
Black is the colour of your eyes' reflection
Black is the colour of your enormous means
When you're leaving
You leave a black world behind
When you're crying
You cry black tears of your mind
Black is the colour of all your lost emotions
Black is the colour of your dangerous illusions

As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I never follow what's right
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the
Sadness and pain the truth begins to light
'Cause I can't see no reason
What is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin'
All I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb
If I cried me a river of all my confessions
Would I drown in my shallow regret
As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
And in the darkness all that I can see
The frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of

The world has broken down
Every stone’s been turned around
We feel no fear at all
Not at all
We don’t know what’s to come
Our beginning had already begun
And now we have to run
Come on
The last look back is black
The night turns dark ahead
When there’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
No turning back
No turning back
Where have you gone?
You made us feel so strong
You lost us and now we are
Alone
It’s dark despite the light
Tomorrow’s not in sight
And we were born to go
On and on
The last look back is black
The night turns dark ahead
When there’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
No turning back
No turning back
Let us run and don’t look back
We leave behind a burning track
Let us run and don’t look back
We leave behind a burning track
Come on
Come on
The last look back is black
The night turns dark ahead
When there’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
The last looks back is black
The night turns dark ahead
There’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
No turning back

There's something in the trees
The tree's don't lead lead to nothing
Nothing's in the sky
And why is it so quite
I'll die down in this dungeon
This dungeon waters running
I'm running out of time
And it's time I started cursing
I can't here a moment
Monsters keep rumbling
Rumblings getting louder
Like thunder in the morning
The bombs are getting closer
I stumble around the corner
And I see you standing there again
And I don't want to lead a revolution
And I see black until I see the sun
And everybody said that the end is soon
And I see black until I see you
But turns it's eyes broken
But I see you on the screen
You look so wide eyed and beautiful to me
The words are scrambled on the ground
There in my feet
You look so wide eyed and beautiful to me
And I can't decide
Wasted all my time
And I should've won your heart
You told me to jump but it was way to far
Now I need a running start
And I don't want to lead a revolution
And I see black until I see the sun
And everybody said that the end is soon
And I see black until I see you
And I can't decide
Wasted all my time
And I still haven't won your heart
You told me to jump but it was way to far
Now I need a running start
America is coming
We better start indulging
In time you'll see
A president in me
Now I think it's funny
That the future looks so ugly
High school hasn't done
And we'll all die young
We'll all die young
We'll all die young
The horses are coming
And we'll all die young
We'll all die young
We'll all die young
The horses are coming
And we'll all die young
We'll all die young
We'll all die young
The horses are coming

Sometimes I feel so far away
Other times I think I need a change today
Unwanted feelings of despair from inside
And all I want is a place to hide
Sometimes it makes me really angry
Other times it gets me really sad
But every time it happens the only thing I see is...
Black, black, black, all I see is...
I just want a little piece of mind
Away from all my pressures and the daily grind
I just want a place where I can be
Away from all the things that trouble me
Could things be better at the end of the road?
Or will the world outside still be cold?
For the inner tranquility that I lack

I feel the whisper of the wind in my hair
The lovely step of a white horse in my head
The sweet softness of a black rabbit in my hand
What a torture are you hiding now for me?
I just want you hear the sound with me…
Hear the sound with me… hear the sound with me…
I feel i cannot split the sadness from the mind
This lovely tight that ties my neck to this tree
What the hell is happen all depressing words…
Two minutes to end… two minutes to die…
Two minutes to end… two minutes to die…
I just want you hear the sound with me…

Black, is it dark enough?
Is it hot or cold or stark enough?
Black, is it dirty or sad?
Is it old or cruel or broken or bad?
Black, is it all you see
When you close your eyes, you think of me?
Black, black, black
Black, is it nightmare or dream?
Is it midnight sky or silent scream?
Black, is it the chains you wear?
Or the color of the cross you bear?
Black, is it what you hate?
The hangman's hood or the offering plate?
Black, black, black
Is it the shame that drives you back?
Is it the train that jumps the track
Just as you're slipping through the cracks?
Black, black
Black, is it your medicine
Your soul, your hole or the shape you're in?
Black, is it your wedding gown
Your eyes, your lies or the truth you've found?
Black, is it beautiful?
Is it animal or criminal?
Black, black, black
Is it the shame that burns your soul?
Is it the fear you can't control?
Is it the night that won't let go?
Black, black
Black, is it the enemy
That hides inside of you and me?
Black, is it the preacher's cloak
Your father's curse or your mother's joke?
Black, is it the pain you own
Or the plague that's eating at your bones?
Black, black, black
Is it the ashes of your dreams?
Is it the nature of your greed?
Is it the walls between you and me?
Black, black
Black

And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black
Turn the good thing back
Kiss the good thing back
Make the good thing back
Be the good thing back
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
And the black runs deep
Yeah the black runs deep
I guess the black runs deep
I think the black runs deep
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine
Hey you've been saved
Hey you've been saved
And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black
And I guess I can
And I guess I can
Yeah I guess I can
Think I guess I can
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side

Black numerous times at start and behind the beat
To tell the truth man. Shit, we all grew up in the ghetto
Young black males, huh. Those black girls, hide and go get it
It was real in the hood. Niggaz kept it real. I mean, they did
It was only black. That's all we knew, shit. Ain't a damn thing change
Nigga proud to be one. Put that on anything
[Verse 1]
Don't make me have to get the black gloves and black ski mask
Anything a nigga have to do to get me cash
You know I wear a lot of blue
'Cause that's just what a nigga do
Tonight I got on so much black I look invisible
They say that all black man are criminals, dead orin jail
Well, I'm an angry, young, black individual
My daddy born black, my momma born black
Daddy was a mack and daddy ain't know how to act
But daddy had the black Cadillac, he had black slacks
Driving me to school, I used to toat the black backpack
And napsack, black raps in my mind I'm hearing it
I wrote about the only thing I knew, the black experience
Stick-ball, playing dice by the brick wall
Say bloody mary three times, that bitch will get yall
Street fights, being in before the street lights
Before I ever learned to freak a beat right
Nigga, I was black
[Chorus]
Don't be fuckin round with me 'cause I'll have you seeing black
Trying to get me for the chain, I'll make you faker black
There ain't nothing in my heart or in my soul 'cause it's black
I told you it's black 3X
Now every gram and collar green, nigga that's black
And plastic on a brand new sofa, that's black
Freeze pops, and double dutch and hot chips black
I'm trying to tell you big pimping, that's black
[Verse 2]
My momma told me, don't be on that
Terry, don't get sidetracked
Terry, you was born black, and you gon' die black
And you gon' always be black, and you gon' always know black
Even though, you the lightest motherfucker on the Kodak
But know that you should act black, knowing you should rap at
Know when to pull it
And when you should shake hands, and that's that
She said, you're black, so them coppers will harrass you
And them black choppers see who hiding in the grass too
She said being black is heaven in hell
But most black man either end up dead or in jail
She told me, you don't have to date black, and you don't have to marry it
But never ever hate black, be proud of it and carry it
And even when they put you in the dirt, they'll never burry it
And don't just have one approach son, you need to varry it
Before baseball, before basketball
Even when my casket fall
A nigga still black
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Black way of thinking, I'm done with it, I'm through with it
Why they call it black male, fuck I have to do with it
I never knew they'd punk, every black crack one day
The stock market crashed, and they called it black Monday
black kids are ghetto, black cats are bad luck
Wear black at funerals, to me it doesn't add up
But I don't give a mad fuck, what you try and label me
I'm one black nigga getting paid from using ABC's
Black are less intelegent, rap is just irrelevant
And in most black neighborhoods, crack is just so prevalent
Disproportionately, I see black put up on death row
And not the one in Interscope either, where all the rest go
And it's still Ok to tell a little white lie
Cops pull over black kids, the black kid, he might die
But no matter what they say, how we destroy the world
I love these black boys and girls

When everything turns to black
You don’t know where to go
You need something
To justify your soul
Silence is broken
Confidence is gone
Everything you’re holding on to
Falls
All the people selling truths
On every corner now
The wait until the fear
Has knocked you down
All the rules are changing now
You’re living in sin
Everything around you is caving in
All you’re holding on to
Slipping like water through your hands
And you sing
La la la la X3
Ya you sing
La la la la X3
Far off in the distance
Somewhere you can’t see
Allegiances have formed your destiny
Opposition all around
Feeding off your soul
Trying hard to swallow up you whole
And the demons all around you waiting
For you to sell your soul
They’re singing
La la la la X3
They’re singing
La la la la X3
Oh la la la la la X2
They’re singing
La la la la X3
They’re singing

Hey...oooh...
Shades of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay.
Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black,
Tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter,
So why do I swear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away...
And now my bitter hands
cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black,
tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever
be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know
you'll be a star,
In somebody else's sky, but why

We touch the walls of a city streets, and
Didn't explain
Sadly showed us our ways
Of never asking why
Cast down,
It was heaven sent, and
To the church no intent to repent
On my knees, just to cry
Until you travel to that place you can't come back
Where the last pain is gone and all that's left is black
Bright nights cease coming to me, and
Some day
They'll punish my deeds, and they'll find
All the crimes
But then they ask when they going to see them
Then they're going to
Ask to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams
Oh, I've got mine
At last those coming came and they never looked back
With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black
Fooled them, hoping to seem
Like the sweat of evil, (?)
But the product of greed, and
It's not a mask, so be honest with me
They can't afford to ignore that I'm a disease
Practical, since we had to be, and
When they were old they came back to me
And they tried, oh they tried
And when you follow through and wind up on your back

Identify the real world
Investigate the real world
Intensify inspection
There for all to see
Here's what lies do
All things turn to
Black, black
Yeah, no
Now desensitize your heartbeat
Regulate the heartbeat
Sterilize all emotion
Justify your needs
Here's what love does
Dies and fades to
Black, black
There are no champions
Who saves the lonely ones
In the corner
Black, yeah
Black
You must identify
You and the real world
Interrogate the new real world
Then generate intention
Information, please
Here's what i know
Soon we'll all go
We must fade to

Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Tongue of ash catches drop
From sharp and bloody steel.
Weve danced too long to ever stop,
Its time for a broken mind to heal.
Black stare could shatter stone.
Black knife rests - white body prone.
Dark angels watch the play below
Black soul wants to die young,
Black lips smile when dark tongue
Tastes the wine from your kind
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Crimson tongue catches drop
From nails like razorblades
The dance is done, the game is won
Its time for a broken heart to feel
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
