black moon
Liam Bailey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could show you my divide
And all the mercury in my eye
There'd be a war
There'd be a dance
There'd be a euphony of sound
I am fading out
Fading out
As the seething deep malign
And cool disaster, seized my mind
How can you laugh?
How can you cry?
How do you think about me now?
When I am fading out
Fading out
Fading out

Black moon you need to go
You only bring me painful woe
The mercy I beg from you is cursed
And I am fading out
Fading in reverse, yeah, yeah

My darling come home
Beg forgiveness, beg soul
How do you feel now that it's real?
Now that my dark side is out?
I am fading out
Fading out

Black moon you need to go
You only bring me painful woe
The mercy I beg from you is cursed
I am fading out
Fading in reverse

Black moon you need to go
You only bring me painful woe
The mercy I beg from you is cursed
And I am fading out
Fading in reverse




Fading out I'm fading out
I'm fading out
