At last alone, his fire's dying
He's all by himself as the fire slowly dies

Burned another day
The day has passed in flames

Now to pretend
Time for a charade

And make up an ending
Craft a conclusion that's not real

Somewhere far away
In a distance not near

He reached for a book all bound in leather
He picks up a leather-bound book

Something that he knows he's never read
He's certain he's never read it before

And the first page says beware you've found the answer
The first page warns the discovery of an answer

The next one says I wish you were dead!
The following one states a desire of death

Don't go out, put it back
Don't proceed, put the book away

You're reading from the Bible Black!
You're reading from a sinister source

What's this word I see
What is this I'm reading

Who are you and who are me
What's the difference between us

Maybe I just stumbled in the dark
I may have unknowingly entered this realm

I must have been out cold
I don't remember falling asleep

But the way the story's told
According to this tale

They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah
They found me drenched and exposed outside

Let me go I've seen a vision?
I want to leave, I've had a vision

But the light has left me blind
But the brilliance has blinded me

Take me back
Bring me back

I must have the Bible Black!
I must have that illicit text

Well here I go again
Here I am, back at it

From the start to the end
From beginning to end

I wish I could remember what I've done
I desire to recollect my actions

Now here's another spell
Here's another incantation

It could take me straight to hell
It could lead me to the depths of the underworld

And I feel I'm getting closer to my home
I sense I'm nearing my final destination

Let me go I've found addiction
I want to go, I'm addicted

And it makes me feel alive
It gives me the sensation of being alive

He locks himself away and tastes the silence
He isolates himself in a silent space

Hungry for another bite of wrong
Craves don't abide by morality

And just the words "oh Lord please take me with you"
Just asking to be taken away

Took him to a place we don't belong
Led him to an unfamiliar place

Let him go!
To set him free

He can't come back
He's not welcomed back

He's reading the Bible Black!
He indulges in obscure literature

So if your fine with dying
So if you're content with dying

And what's the use of trying?
What's the point of attempting?

I may have know another place that you can go
I know of a different location you can visit

It's hiding in the pages
It's concealed in the script

But you may not come back
But you may not return

You're reading from the Bible Black!
You're indulging in an occult text
