HEAVEN & HELL LYRICS - Bible Black

"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!!!
