[Verse 1]

I'm gonna fight

Even though my life is burning

Everything's gonna be all right

Even if there's no returning

[Pre-Chorus 1]

In silence, I'm watching

I feel the world around

So restless staring deeper in the night

[Chorus]

Like a faraway sun when the fire is low

Like a fading star, I'm burning out in the cold

Crying in my blacksong (Blacksong)

[Verse 2]

I'm lonely

Ageing fast down the road

Only in my dreams, I'm hiding

'Til I'm buried naked and old

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I'm waiting (Waiting)

Watching (Watching)

I see the world around

Forever reaching deeper for the light

[Chorus]

Like a faraway sun when the fire is low

I'm a fading star burning out in the cold

And I'm crying out my blacksong (Blacksong)

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]

Distant kingdoms like sparks on the sky

So many visions they come to you and I

The shine of the future gives no hint of peace

For this torn world there can be no release

[Bridge]

Hold on - and all that is beautiful dies

Hold on - I'm standing here asking you why

Hold on - I must believe to rise in the blaze

But I'm tired in me running blind in the haze

Hold on - and everything powerful fades

Hold on - all that is young will age

Hold on - touched by evil darker than coil

No salvation for the warrior soul

But I'll keep on fighting, coming home, oh yeah

Crying in my blacksong

[Chorus]

In a faraway sun when the fire is low

Just a glowing star fading out in the cold

Dying with my blacksong (Blacksong)

[Outro]

Black... Black... Turning black

Crying in my blacksong

Crying in my blacksong
