Once I got caught in an avalanche, I must have died When the black swan flew to the rescue and cried An offer I could not refuse, now I'm working on the other side Well I flew with the bird then, and we flew all night And I got to see my prison from a thousand feet high Buy me a drink, and I'll tell you about the black swan
Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right To find the one who I can steal the soul from To buy more time
Must keep my secrets untold until the wrongs are right The only one I could deceive, I buy my time Need you to fly on the black swan
The date is set, we all must face it Door to door seeking salvation I must fall, die, I wished not I hope to stay afloat when you give into the Silver lining, sharp and so cold Anger fades into a fake smile You see I'm ready to do it for everyone I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now?
Don't worry, I've done this before It'll hurt like hell and leave you sore Now use this cave and hold on to your ticket of gold and close your eyes One day I know you'll sell your soul And trade all you are for silver and gold You'll get some odd advice from a stranger, take it from me with (love)
Once I was in love with someone like we've been there Stood (?) and tore out of a memory, stubborn (?)
I need to find a way to pass on the gift I once received I am ready to face it, I'll take my chances If I am withering through the evening dark Snow [snow], grey, so be it I should not rest now [now], but forever I'll feed the ferryman's greed With an empty promise for my lost soul
Must keep those black wings folded until the darkest night I steal a soul from you to buy me some time
Pouring boiling water on your soul, deep frozen flower Black nailed finger of the creator
Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right To find the one who I can steal the soul from To buy more time
Must keep my secrets untold until the wrongs are right The only one I could deceive, I served my time Need you to fly with the black swan
