black wings

i've been here through a million ages

i am the savior inside

tonight i am love and justice

tomorrow perversion to spite

and now that it's bleeding you dry

i'm calling you

i'm calling you

when temperance is bleeding you dry

i'm knocking you off the perch

and out in the rain

i'll hide under wings i'd curse in sunlight

out in the rain

you can break me and take me away

on wings of fury

live your tragic comedy

i'm the poison in your veins

circumspection

vanity

you give all they can take

i am fury

i am fire

i'm the worm inside

deliver you from self-denial tonight

when temperance is bleeding you dry i'm inside

and out in the rain

i'll hide under wings i'd curse in sunlight

out in the rain

you can break me and take me away

on wings of fury

who do you think you are

to tell me what to say

who do you think you are

to tell me what to play

and what not to break

and out in the rain

i'll hide under wings i'd curse in sunlight

out in the rain

you can break me and take me away

on wings of fury
