Lyrics
Shades Of Black
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The voices cry for a broken spirit
Whispers ‘rest in peace now’ weeping for him in secret
The night breaks through the clouds as witness
To the sorrow that’s unforgiving and the light slowly diminishes
As I lie here and float in between
The shades of black
I look upon the stars yours is brightest of them all
I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotion
Your words are sewn into our hearts bereaved
Fuse together pieces while we’re holding in all our tears
The lights break through the dark to listen
As the songs ring unforgiving and our voices are undiminishing
And as I lie here and float in between
The shades of black
I look upon the stars yours is brightest of them all
I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotions
Rusty nails on the ground now you’re free of your cage
And the sound of your voice will forever live on
In the strength of your words we’ll remember your fire
From the earth into stone and through bones we live and we die Live and die
