I blacken blank pages

With the ink of my sorrows

I dare without half-measures
Enough to make the sky blush

I dress hopes that dawn strips bare

I open my arms to the world

Of being greatly replaced

My days will fade at sunrise
They'll wage it without me

I dress hopes that dawn strips bare
Black, black, black, black

Black, black, black, black

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black
