At last alone his fire's dying
Burned another day
Now to pretend

And make up an ending
Somewhere far away


He reached for a book all bound in leather
Something that he knows he's never read
And the first page says beware you've found the answer

The next one says i wish that you were dead!

Don't go on put it back

You're reading from the bible black!

What's this word i see

Who are you and who are me
Maybe i just stumbled in the dark


I must have been out cold
But the way the story's told
They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah


Let me go i've seen a vision
But the line has left me blind

Take me back
I must have the bible black!


Well here i go again
From the start to the end
I wish i could remember what i've done


Now here's another spell
It could take me straight to hell

And i feel i'm getting closer to my home

Let me go i've found addiction

And it makes me feel alive
Take me back
I must have the bible black!


(great guitar solo)


He locks himself away and tastes the silence
Hungry for another bite of wrong
And just the words "oh lord please take me with you"

Took him to a place we don't belong

Let him go!

He can't come back
He's reading from the bible black!


So if your fire's dying
Then what's the use of trying?
I may know another place that you can go


It's hiding in the pages
But you may not come back

You're reading from the bible blaaaaack!!!
