And they call me Dark as the dirt Dark as the earth from whence your sustenance comes From where the fuel of the world flows Gushing pools of fire brandishing the land and seas Black as the night Black as the sky when it’s time for restoration Rejuvenate the very cells that make up Your matter, your future, your whole You don’t understand the dark Because of your greed for the light But you’re blind to the light Bbecause your heart is so cold Black is the scab Black is the seal that protects your wounds And keeps the light from burning what is yet to weak to heal The flesh and bone discerning when the veil of time reveals Only fools scratch it away Scratch it away Scratch it away Scratch it away too soon
