Lyrics
Black Swan
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.
I thought at this hour any pleasure can never really be a sin in vain
One hundred and one shots of opportunity
I'd gladly take them all again and again... and again
My angels left me, sorrows are my own
And now I'm here with the Devil, on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, black swan keeps haunting me.
I promise that my soul not to get paid away
Wind always starts of as psychedelic and then it turns to black
My head starts swaying, I forgot what it was that I was saying
I don't know where I am and I'll never, never make it back.
I sealed my fate, and I paid my debt
I fell from grace with deep regret
My angels left me, sorrows are my own
And now I'm here with the devil on my own
Just like the churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, black swan keeps haunting me
Just like the churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see
It's only there to terrify my mind, black swan keeps haunting me
My angels left me, sorrows are my own
And now I'm here with the devil on my own (on my own)
Just like the churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It's only there to terrify my mind, black swan keeps haunting me
Just like the churchyard shadow, there's nothing left to see
It's only there to terrify my mind, black swan keeps haunting me
Just like the churchyard shadow, creeping after me
There's nothing left to see, there's nothing left of me
