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! 



[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!!!
