Take the black!
Somehow
This world is turning black
Let in the light
Yet
It's turning black
Wash away the blood
And still
It's turning black
I still feel the pain
Still I can see the stain
The bullets
The feast of the vain
Oh
What reality is real?
What pain I feel?
What hearts to heal?
What life to steal?
Oh, it feels so real
Come my love
From within the fog
That hides thy smile
Come my love
For I only have a while
Only eternity
What beauty lies beneath thy wounds?
Oh mighty man? have we done this?
Oh heavens? what bliss?
What have we done?
Oh death
Have they called you mighty and dreadful?
Hard not so
Come oh bloody saint
Come
Take us all
Come sweat Satan
Burn us all
For 'tis what god gave us
Is gone now
All shall die
All shall cry
The silent rage of God
All shall lie
In death and in fury
All love shall fly
As it is any more?
As if there is any to store?
This is what man did
Youth with hate he fed
Oh bloody creation
How worthless
How dark is your soul
A failure before god
What mission he gave
And what bloody grave?
Humanity lies broken
Still beneath the ancient wounds
Still within its womb
Awaiting a renaissance
Yet to rise
Awaiting us all
Awaiting the darkness
Yet to fall
But when shall we fall?
When shall light
Outstand such gal?
Oh we holler for thee
Come quickly
And set us free!
