Bible Black

At last alone, his fire's dying

Burned another day

Now to pretend

and make up an ending

somewhere far away

He reached for a book all bound in leather

something that he knows he's never read

and the first page says beware you've found the answer

the next one says I wish that you were dead!

Don't go on, put it back

You're reading from the Bible Black!

What's this word I see

Who are you and who are me

Maybe I just stumbled in the dark

I must have been out cold

but the way the story's told

They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah

Let me go I've seen a vision

But the line has left me blind

Take me back

I must have the Bible Black!

Well here I go again

From the start to the end

I wish I could remember what I've done

Now here's another spell

it could take me straight to hell

and I feel I'm getting closer to my home

Let me go I've found addiction

and it makes me feel alive

Take me back

I must have the Bible Black!

He locks himself away and tastes the silence

Hungry for another bite of wrong

and just the words "oh Lord please take me with you"

Took him to a place we don't belong

Let him go!

He can't come back

He's reading from the Bible Black!

So if your fire's dying,

then what's the use of trying?

I may know another place that you can go

It's hiding in the pages

but you may not come back

you're reading from the Bible Blaaaaack!!!
