Bible Black Lyrics - The Devil You Know - Heaven & Hell

At last alone, his fire's dying 

Burned another day 

Now to pretend 

and make up an ending 

somewhere far away 

He reached for a book all bound in leather 

something that he knows he's never read 

and the first page says beware you've found the answer 

the next one says I wish that you were dead! 

Don't go on, put it back 

You're reading from the Bible Black! 

What's this word I see 

Who are you and who are me 

Maybe I just stumbled in the dark 

I must have been out cold 

but the way the story's told 

They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah 

Let me go I've seen religion 

But the light has left me blind 

Take me back 

I must have the Bible Black! 

Well here I go again 

From the start to the end 

I wish I could remember what I've done 

Now here's another spell 

it could take me straight to hell 

and I feel I'm getting closer to my home 

Let me go I've found addiction 

and it makes me feel alive 

Take me back 

I must have the Bible Black! 

(Great Guitar Solo) 

He locks himself away and tastes the silence 

Hungry for another bite of wrong 

and just the words "oh Lord please take me with you" 

Took him to a place we don't belong 

Let him go! 

He can't come back 

He's reading from the Bible Black! 

So if your fire's dying, 

then what's the use of trying? 

I may know another place that you can go 

It's hiding in the pages 

but you may not come back 

you're reading from the Bible Blaaaaack!!!
