Resurrection
The Black Sorrows Lyrics

Six weeks and a day too long
The bitterness has been going on for too long now, can't take it anymore even if it's just over six weeks.

The same old thing just keeps goin' on
The unwanted, repeating patterns continue but the pain is taking over.

Your L-O-V-E was double dealin' me
The love was deceitful, and it hurt a lot more.

Your X-T-C was only misery
The ecstasy (X-T-C) was only poisonous and crushing with a heaping amount of hurt.

Your spell of voodoo had a hold on me
The person's influence had a binding effect like voodoo magic, and the artist can't get out of it.

Your poison kisses would ting aling aling
The kisses were producing a physical reaction, but the emotion behind them was hurt and poison.

Black crows sing on the witness tree
The birds serve as a symbol of death that will signify the destruction of this cycle.

Won't let you Hoodoo make no fool out of me
The artist is taking a stand and refuses to let this person influence them anymore; they refuse to be a fool again.

I'm gonna break away
The time has come to take a step back and break free from unwanted influences.

Resurrection is the word
The artist is focusing on a rebirth, a resurrection for a new direction in life.

So raise the wind on this holy day
The singer is ready to face their fears and tough times while looking forward to the winds of renewal ahead.

Church bells are ringin' Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
The bells signal a time of celebration and remembrance as the artist moves forward, leaving behind the pain of the past.

Well empty prayers will only testify
Although prayers will be offered, the words will be empty and won't produce the same results as before lacking sincerity.

What kind of fool will keep this love alive
The singer won't make the same mistakes again by putting their faith in a love that's hurtful.

Now I'm movin' in a new direction
This marks a new beginning, a brand new start without the unwelcome influence of someone they can't trust.

For a brand new start
A new start, starting afresh with hope and faith in the same again but better.

Well all those tears can turn to dust
There's no value of the tears; they're better left to turn into dust.

There ain't no lovin' without no trust
There can be no love without trust, no matter how much someone wants it to be otherwise.

Rise up
The singer is becoming stronger and more resilient amidst adversity.

Pray for the love that you betrayed
The artist is praying for the strength and courage to make it through the pain caused by betrayal.

Well you free wheelin' Flip floppin' Tail gaitin' Hip huggin'
The person who hurt them was unpredictable and inconsistent with bad intentions, leaving the artist unsure of what to expect.
