fly with the black swan

once i got caught in an avalanche

i must have died

when a 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

we flew all night

i got to see my prison from a thousand feet high

buy me a drink

and i tell you

'bout the black swan

must keep those black wings folded

until the time is right

to find the one whom i can steal

a 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

for die i wish not

my hopes stay afloat when you give in to the

silver lining

sharp and so cold

anger fades into a vague 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

no use escaping

hold on to your ticket of gold

and close your eyes. one day i know you will sell your soul

and trade all you are for silver and gold. you'll get an odd advice from a stranger

take it

from me

with love. once i was in love with someone like you

engaged to be whole

got torn out of your memories

covered in snow. i need to find a way to pass on the gift i once received

i'm ready to face it. i'll take my chances

if i am

returning to the deep

dark snow grave

so be it

i-should-not-rest-now.but forever!

i'll feed. - the ferryman's creed. with an empty promise for my lost soul. must keep those black wings folded

until the darkest night

a soul from you to buy me some time

pouring boiling water on a solid frozen flower

black nailed finger of the creator

i take a bow

thank for this opportunity

but i've given the last ride for all those close to kin

must keep those black wings folded

until the time is right

to find the one whom i can steal

a 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
