The Black Takes it All

Intro
Darkness – Pulls you down
In the sea – of rotten souls
Nothing - can keep you up
Nothing -  can save us now

Strophe 1:
You sit in front of me,
grief is written in your face,
what you will say right now,
will hit me without grace.

I fear the words you’ll say,
want to escape right away,
words are falling on deaf ears,
the atmosphere freezes all the tears.

You honour our time together, it is not my fault
I matter still as person and you don’t want to hurt
my feelings but you cannot go on like this, you
have to change your life, if you want to survive!

The darkness has been calling you and you have now replied,
you fought it for so long, but succumbed its final strike,
You are about to go and I am paralysed
The Darkness is getting you, IS GETTING YOU!

Refrain:
The Black Takes It All!
It takes what you have been to me!
It takes the years we’ve spent together! And now,
that you leave are you lost or free?

Bridge:
It Pulls You Down
down to the rotten souls

Strophe 2:
We shared so many things,
experiences that will never go,
we mastered ups and downs,
but now I have to let you go.

The remembrance of our time,
I never want to let it fade,
I want to conserve it, not
in black and white but all its shades.

Cause the darkness tries to get me too, and I cannot allow
the darkness to prevail and I won’t ever bow
the demons that are hunting you – hunting you and me
the darkness let you prostrate but won’t force me to my knees!

The darkness has been calling you and you have now replied,
we fought it for so long, but succumbed its finally strike,
You are about to go and I am paralysed
I have to let you go, TO LET YOU GO!

Refrain:
The Black Takes It All!
It takes what you have been to me!
It takes the years we’ve spent together! And now, 
that you leave are you lost or free?

Break:
Why can’t we fight for, why can’t we fight for, why can’t we fight for, can’t fight for us!

Why stopped we fighting for, why stopped we fighting for, why stopped we fighting for,
I WILL NOT FORGIVE

Refrain:
The Black Takes It All!
It takes what you have been to me!
It takes the years we’ve spent together! And now, 
that you leave are you lost or free?

Outro:
Are you lost or free?
