Black - MICHAEL ROMEO

This is the dawning of a new inception

The generating of a warped perfection

The paradigm is shining — no exception

Truth is a lie — a spit in the eye

The scope of what is real now fast eroding

Cause and effect — a fairytale imploding

A clap of thunder

And the storm’s approaching

Come in from the rain

Pulling the strings — smashing our wings

Striking us down

Now there’s no turning back

This venomous sting — end of all things

Burns in the night

And shifts the palest grey to endless black

Paranoia’s like a burning fuse

Yet it’s the only tool we want to use

A revocation of the right to choose

The game of a snake with so much at stake

Clutch your weapons out of desperation

Lead the numbered to extermination

You’re one step closer to annihilation

Addicted to the pain

Cast the first stone and smite the weak

It’s all too easy now to make them break

Raging bullets tear through flesh

A bloody battlefield

And one by one they learn

The price now paid for every past mistake

Pulling the strings — smashing our wings

Striking us down

Now there’s no turning back

This venomous sting — end of all things

Burns in the night

And shifts the palest grey to endless black

There is no escape from inside this hell

If you want to live to see another day

Then heed my words

Palest grey to endless black
