"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!
[Guitar Solo]
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!!!
