Shades Of Black

There was this world I used to know a place I called my home
Where everything burned bright and true
Then there was fire in the air, a wind of true despair
And everything turned black and that became our truth

A world with no sense of reason, far beyond what we could ever dream
Day by day it's getting darker as it seems

Shades of black, where everything turns hollow and there's no turning back
In sadness we all wallow, in these shades of black

There is a curse inside this world, to most of us unheard
And you can feel it in the air, out of sight
You see that shadow rise, right across the sky
And there's nothing we can do but pray tonight

A world with no sense of reason, far beyond what we could ever dream
Day by day it's getting darker as it seems

Shades of black, where everything turns hollow and there's no turning back
In sadness we all wallow, in these shades of black

I've never been the one running away and I'm about to break the silence
With every breath I have I'll scream to the gods above
They'll hear every last word, every last plea for mercy
Save the last world that still believes

Shades of black, where everything turns hollow and there's no turning back
In sadness we all wallow, in these shades of black

We live of all our sorrow and there's just one way back
In times like these we hold on to these shades of black
