[Verse 1]
I'm gonna fight
Even though my life is burning
Everything's gonna be all right
Even if there's no returning
[Pre-Chorus 1]
In silence, I'm watching
I feel the world around
So restless staring deeper in the night
[Chorus]
Like a faraway sun when the fire is low
Like a fading star, I'm burning out in the cold
Crying in my blacksong (Blacksong)
[Verse 2]
I'm lonely
Ageing fast down the road
Only in my dreams, I'm hiding
'Til I'm buried naked and old
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm waiting (Waiting)
Watching (Watching)
I see the world around
Forever reaching deeper for the light
[Chorus]
Like a faraway sun when the fire is low
I'm a fading star burning out in the cold
And I'm crying out my blacksong (Blacksong)
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Distant kingdoms like sparks on the sky
So many visions they come to you and I
The shine of the future gives no hint of peace
For this torn world there can be no release
[Bridge]
Hold on - and all that is beautiful dies
Hold on - I'm standing here asking you why
Hold on - I must believe to rise in the blaze
But I'm tired in me running blind in the haze
Hold on - and everything powerful fades
Hold on - all that is young will age
Hold on - touched by evil darker than coil
No salvation for the warrior soul
But I'll keep on fighting, coming home, oh yeah
Crying in my blacksong
[Chorus]
In a faraway sun when the fire is low
Just a glowing star fading out in the cold
Dying with my blacksong (Blacksong)
[Outro]
Black... Black... Turning black
Crying in my blacksong
Crying in my blacksong
