I've been fasting face to the dawn
From the desert of thoughs
Only prayers will cary on

I've been waiting knees in the sand
Will there be time enough
For me to understand?

(I've been breathing)
I've been breathing the air of high pass
The cold reaches into my bones
Turning me to glass

I've been bleeding but the cup's not filled
I hope to see into it now
See my heart stilled

Far and away from here
I'd lie down to find some rest
Something whispers in my ear
The hurt has found a place to nest

Shining black; I see you now
Shining black; You're made of steel
Shining black (2x)

(I've been fighting)
I've been fighting the worm of despair
The hollowed me is losing strength
Maybe I don't care

The demon whispers in my ear
The hurt has found a home in here

Shining black; I see you now
Shining black; You're made of steel
Shining black (2x)

[Solo]
Shining black; I see you now
Shining black; Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shining black; And I see you now
Shining black; Yeah, you're made of steel.
Shining black
Shining black; You're made of steel
