Black is the colour of the night
And the colour of my soul,
Where stars no longer shine bright;
Swallowed up by my black hole.
White is for the light-hearted,
Why am I so afraid of whitening?
Black is for the dark-minded,
I feel the darkness slipping.
Here, see what you have done:
You have burned away what you lack
And is all that I had. My sun,
You have left ashes the only black.
I can no longer take this,
I must choose a side,
Between the lies and the bliss.
How can I decide?
You are the root
Of my benediction,
You are the root
Of my affliction.
You’ve torn my soul
As you’re tearing my heart.
You make me whole
Yet you tear me apart.
I can’t live without you,
You can’t live without me.
I can’t live with you,
You can’t live with me.
You kill to eat,
You eat to make beautiful.
Strip away this meat
That I give you, Hannibal.
