Black star whenever you're ready
you're much too far away!
by now your soul seems steady now crawl to the cross
Meanwhile time takes a turn
-i'm feeling damned when you make it burn
let's testify you're born to die
-you speak the truth and so do i
don't give it away
-don't give it away
don't try to nail
don't you try to nail
don't try to nail!!
Black star whenever you're ready
you're much too far away!
by now your soul seems steady now crawl to the cross
[chorus]
Black star deceiver kills it all
the sun lies waiting for a call
You seem to be a fatal one
come watch me preach under the gun
i'm down and out, so down and out!
Black star whenever you're ready
you're much too far away!
by now your soul seem steady now crawl to the cross
[chorus]
Black star deceiver kills it all
the sun lies waiting for a call [repeat]
[1st lead frenning]
[2nd lead wichers]
Take me away, i'm in distress
oh grand deceiver put me to rest
i was never in pain, sick or insane
so hear me now you're the one i blame!
Meanwhile time takes a turn
-i'm feeling damned when you make it burn
let's testify you're born to die
-you speak the truth and so do i
don't give it away
-don't try to nail!
Black star whenever you're ready
you're much too far away!
by now your soul seem steady now crawl to the cross
[chorus]
Black star deceiver kills it all
the sun lies waiting for a call [repeat]
8. mercury shadow
Breakdown of a shadow unknown
tomorrow belongs to no one
as i repent the things i've done
there is a freeway heading for sorrow
breakdown cause you've had enough
you've never felt so strong
steal away, steal away let it all astray
it's been so long!
when there comes a time
with a feast on what used to be mine
sent from the front to the back
all in numbers and fellish black [repeat]
[chorus]
We know how to spit or swallow
bring out, the mercury shadow
Is this the statement that i feel?
-accused to be an unbeliever
Hit the lights and won't you please resign
way down and right on time
Is this the statement that i feel?
acccused to be an unbeliever
Won't you shut all the doors in mind
the ones you cannot find
there is no way that i can see
why you keep on... haunting me!
[chorus]
We know how to spit or swallow
bring out, the mercury shadow [repeat]
