"Black" lyrics - 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

[Chorus 1:]
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

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge:]
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

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2:]
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

[Outro:]
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
