these blackened hands can't wash clean
ever since I followed you down your winding path
and of course you've been down
you're lower than life
you dwell under the surface of righteous
but here I am giving you a smile
I can't resist what you have to offer
through the thorns and the muck I appear at your door
though your heart is full
your cage is scarred and scribed with evil
a fate you were born with
and still you accepted your poor luck
I won't follow you down where you came from
I won't try to make sense of your broken bones
I'm sorry they left you this way
I'll practice my eulogy
I've martyred myself for others
and this time I'll accept my selfishness
I've wrung you out to dry

Black is beautiful. Inside outside. This band is superb. As a huge Sabbath fan I love the low tuned riffs, as well as the hardcore speed moments, short as they are: but it's exactly that which keeps it so damn interesting. Also love the interplays full of sweetness or speeches about black culture and being black within white domination. Still some things to learn. This is the real life in music form. Let's celebrate.
