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 world 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


Let me go I've seen religion
But the light 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 can 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


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

And 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 Black
