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 world I see, who are you and who are me

Maybe I just stumbled in the dark

I must've 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 religion but the light has left me blind

Take me back, I must have the Bible Black

Well, here I go again, from the start and 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, and 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 Black
