"Black" lyrics

We touch the walls of a city streets
And didn't explain sadly showed us our ways of never asking why
Cast down it was heaven-sent
And to the church no intent to repent
On my knees
Just to cry

Until you travel to that place you can't come back
Where the last pain is gone
And all that's left is black

Bright nights cease coming to me
And some days they'll punish my deeds
And they'll find
All the crimes
But then they ask when they are to see them
Then they're gonna ask to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams
Oh, I've got mine

At last, those coming came and they never looked back
With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black

Fooled them, was hoping to seem like the slayer of evil
But the product of greed
It's not a mask so be honest with me
They can't afford to ignore that I'm a disease
Practical since we had to be
And then they were old they came back to me
And they tried
Oh, they tried

And when you follow through
And wind up on your back
Looking up at no stars in the sky
Those white clouds have turned black
