Black on Black Lyrics

Music: Ostby/Lyrics: Khan

Be patient folks
empty phrases cast to calm
fat, well behaved
suburban princes
head for the hills
where night is still
Another king's blood
floats in the streets
claiming the riots to rise

Revolution-delayed
action-bomb
years compulsion-
set on fire
revolution-raging
through the night
white man's verdit-
black on black

You're free to go
evidence is hard to find
so says the law
I say they've corrupted
clear are the signs
now is the time
Another king's quest
faints it the mist
left is the call of the wild

Revolution-delayed
action-bomb
years compulsion-
set on fire
revolution-raging
through the night
white man's verdit-
black on black

Spare us for
your visions
need no eyes to see
them through
poor is your divinity
we've lost our faith
long ago
listen, the bells
for you they toll,
for you they call

Another king's cry
faints it the mist
left is the call of the wild

Revolution-delayed
action-bomb
years compulsion-
set on fire
revolution-raging
through the night
white man's verdit-
black on black
