Black As Can Be Lyrics

All alone, I confess

Shackled to this emptiness

Haunting screams… echoing

Soft spoken suffering

Smoldering rage sets fire to the page

Locked away with the powder and the flame

Crippled legs can't bare your shame now, broken wings, won't carry your pain

Trapped inside with the rats and heathens

Fast descent from a martyr to the stains

Hold me close to embrace the treason

These broken wings, still won't carry your pain

Don't push me to the edge

Fight til' the bitter fucking end

Don't wait through today

For the blood of tomorrow

Wasting away, conscience betrayed

Too many reasons why I don't give a fuck

Why can't you see, black as can be

It's not your time to bleed with the enemy

So, climb right through, and smell the stink inside it

Intoxicating - the stench of remains

You need it

Finely pixelated, left desecrated, your mosaic of both time and space

Your scars and pain

Space and time, your scars and pain. Your pain

Coming from the west, no help, no tenderness

Violently repeating just like videos

So, don't push me to the edge, when I know this is not the end

It's hard to believe with the wounds that they leave

There is life left to defend

When there's nothing left to defend

A sliver of light creeps in
