Black
Witchrider Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A heart isn´t free when it´s hoping
A thunder is born by lightning
Help me free myself and let me go
The path i walk is one you´ll never know

Black is the cage i´ve been locked in
To wallow in dirt, well it´s soothing
Indecision is all that i can see
Show you care and hand me in the key

Let me out don´t keep me in
Nothing left for us to win

The virus in me keeps feeding
Chasing a light i´m seeing
Hold me close just one more final time
I'll always feel for you keep that in mind

Throw me in don´t let me out
I´ve done you wrong without a doubt





I´m hoping
I´m choking
