Black Curtains
Hey, look around you, everything's helter-skelter
Listen up, I warn you, run for cover, run
Bang, it happened; time's up, Armageddon
Fire, meltdown, the sky is crumbling in
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
Escape, you're joking, can't find no place to run
Hair is burning, my flesh is bubbling up
Blood is boiling, taste copper on my tongue
Fate is coming, welcome it with a smile
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains fall
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
"Something's under my skin
Something's very strange, playing with my mind, tempting me to do you in"
Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest
Held for ransom in a spider's web
Suffocating, no one hears my calls
Never-ending, 'til the black curtain falls
Snakes surround me, offering their death kiss to me
Down, I'm drowning; how long? I hold my breath
Dogs are chasing, my legs are paralysed
Pray, don't find me, my life is fading fast
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains fall
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
Listen up, I warn you, run for cover, run
Bang, it happened; time's up, Armageddon
Fire, meltdown, the sky is crumbling in
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
Escape, you're joking, can't find no place to run
Hair is burning, my flesh is bubbling up
Blood is boiling, taste copper on my tongue
Fate is coming, welcome it with a smile
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains fall
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
"Something's under my skin
Something's very strange, playing with my mind, tempting me to do you in"
Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest
Held for ransom in a spider's web
Suffocating, no one hears my calls
Never-ending, 'til the black curtain falls
Snakes surround me, offering their death kiss to me
Down, I'm drowning; how long? I hold my breath
Dogs are chasing, my legs are paralysed
Pray, don't find me, my life is fading fast
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains fall
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
