Shades of Black Songtext
von Diamond Head

The voices cry for a broken spirit
Whispers ′rest in peace now'
Weeping for him in secret
The night breaks through the clouds as witness
To the sorrow that′s unforgiving
And the light slowly diminishes
As I lie here and float in between
The shades of black
I look upon the stars
Yours is brightest of them all
I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotion
Your words are sewn into our hearts bereaved
Fuse together pieces
While we're holding in all our tears The lights break through the dark to listen
As the songs ring unforgiving
And our voices are undiminishing
And as I lie here and float in between
The shades of black
I look upon the stars
Yours is brightest of them all
I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotions
Rusty nails on the ground now you're free of your cage
And the sound of your voice will forever live on
In the strength of your words we′ll remember your fire
From the earth into stone
And through bones we live and we die Live and die
