Black Lyrics

I'm a black booted deviant of a blackened state
An incendiary dissident primed to detonate

I WEAR THE BLACK CLOTH.
HOLD THE BLACK CROSS
I BLEED THE BANE BLACK BLOOD

I'm a black jacket refugee from a charcoal world
A black mouth spitting blacksphemy. A voice of the unheard

I'LL HOIST THE BLACK FLAG.
RAISE THE BLACK STAR
I BARE THE BANE BLACK MARK

I am a consequence of all that's gone before me, both the symptom and the underlying cause.
I don't pretend to know the answers to the questions I raise, but as long as my heart beats I won't stop looking for solutions to the reasons why the people I love are forced to live a life that tears a hole in them.

I can't believe in a society that values wealth over equality and power over love.
My blackened cloth is my symbol of resistance. A reminder to myself of the person I am.
I hold my faith not in this hell or the heavens but the certainty that tells me that anything can change.
