3 shades of black is where I come from
Depression, missery, and hellacious fun
No, we're not the kind to turn our backs and run
'Coz 3 shades of black is where we come from
We are a certain breed and we dont like you
Some are junkies some are freaks and others are everyday ghouls
No one will ever know what we've been through
And we are proud in the light of the moon
3 shades of black
3 shades of black
We all like metal and whiskey!
Livin' hard and chasin' down hell
We'll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our thrills
Yeaaaaaaaahhhh! Yeeeeeaaaaah, yeaaaaaaaah!
3 shades of black is where I come from
I was born in the sacrafice when I was young
3 shades of black is what makes us strong
And we all wear it like a uniform of chosen ones
3 shades of black
3 shades of black
3 shades of black
We all like metal and whiskey!
Livin' hard and chasin' down hell
We'll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our thrills
'Coz the darkness gives us our thrills...
