my church is black

you're standing a long time on the shore

you try to chase away your thoughts

you want to feel the land you're looking for

you want to move

but you lost the gall

you want to pray

but you forgot the words

you lost the land you're looking for

but the first steps are in your heart

some answers come from tears and from the dark

and all the signs are in the heart

sometimes you must close your eyes

to see

who you are

my church is black

my christ is cold

my cross is pale

all hope is gone

my church is black

my church is black

my christ is cold

my cross is pale

hell is my home

hell is my home

my church is black

my church is black

my blood runs cold

the sun don't shine for me no more

for me no more

black is the moon

cold is the sun

sing hallelujah

no kingdom come

no kingdom come

my church is black

my church is black

my church is black

my church is black

my church is black

my church is black
