Children In Black Lyrics

Children In Black lyrics

The day is withering 

Broken by the weight of the tide 

All shadows past 

Grow longer 

Till they smother light 

and leave no trace 

For evidence 

And the final light has fallen silent 

to me resurrection follows [of these] 

Leave this among 

the dreams dreamt 

Of love shared 

Of gods challenged 

In victory of the mortal chains 

Snatched away 

In the attempt 



All the little children 

All dressed in black 

With their darkened eyes 

And holy artifacts 

Mamas watch your babies 

Keep them safe and sound 

Don't let them play in graveyards 

Don't let them find this out 



You may be sorry 

You may be sorry Babe 



purarities speaking 

Are rising from their mouths 

It must be the devil 

Making these horrid sounds 

Speak no evil, baby 

Your daddy told you twice 

Don't be so short of free 

Lost only in the night 



You may be sorry 

You may be sorry 



Powdered cheeks and perfumed skin 

The midnight cold corrosion 

my destined fingers wander 

Sent by old... explosion 

[comes heralding cold to beat] 

Another hand to feed 

like fish within the net 

Like babies cold in sleep 

Caught in sleep 



[spoken] 

destined... pebbles... 

let me fall quickly into sin 

in turn...rain on my warriors... 

let thunder cry out lies 

and decayed vagrancy 

...on my thinning lips...



You may be sorry 

You may be sorry 

May be 

sorry
