Into the Black is a song inspired by the widely acclaimed dark fantasy manga, Berserk, written by the late Kentaro Miura.
The verses are written from the perspective of Guts, after the events of the Eclipse, and describes about his path for vengeance, and thoughts on what it has cost him.
The chorus...
[Verse 1]
Walking the crossroads of hell on earth
A devil's deal for a new rebirth
I've given my all and day by day
My soul still breaks
I can remember crossing the line
When ushered into a darker time
Though we were in agony
You left me in your wake
[Chorus]
When I curse your name
Can you see my face
And do you taste my pain
In this bloodstained place
Forever on the attack
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
Will my scars reveal
All the sins you chose
And how betrayed I feel
In my fractured bones
For us there's no turning back
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
[Verse 2]
Still hanging on for white hawk's fall
When vengeance comes and I heed the call
With every time I plunge the steel
I'm seeing you
You once had used my desire to kill
Granted me hope with a quiet thrill
I watched as you changed the world around me
Cut in two
[Chorus]
When I curse your name
Can you see my face
And do you taste my pain
In this bloodstained place
Forever on the attack
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
Will my scars reveal
All the sins you chose
And how betrayed I feel
In my fractured bones
For us there's no turning back
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
[Verse 3]
I guess I gambled and lost when fate shuffled our decks
Now that I suffer the wrath of your mad god complex
As I follow the path where the darkness collects
So much death, what for, what for, what for?
Though I am losing control I can't give up the chase
No time for mourning the loss of what hatred replaced
There lies barely a soul behind my changing face
I will break no more, no more, no more
[Bridge]
When I curse your name
Can you see my face
And do you taste my pain
In this bloodstained place
Forever on the attack
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
Will my scars reveal
All the sins you chose
And how betrayed I feel
In my fractured bones
For us there's no turning back
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
Without you
[Chorus]
When I curse your name
Can you see my face
And do you taste my pain
In this bloodstained place
Forever on the attack
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
Will my scars reveal
All the sins you chose
And how betrayed I feel
In my fractured bones
For us there's no turning back
I'm fighting into the black
Without you
Without you
