I haul you in, a sea of silence,
On the border - line of truth, hope, and violence,
I see no sun, I see no place I've loved,
De - pending on------ the signs to find the road!
Black - water, take me with you,
To the place that... I have spoken,
Come and lead me... ...through the darkness,
To the light that... I long to see a - gain!

I walk with you, but sleep be - side her,
If summer came and went, it passed us over,
I see her cry, I see the face I've loved,
De - pending on------ the blind to find the road!
Black - water, take me with you,
To the place that... I have spoken,
Come and lead me... ...through the darkness,
To the light that... I long to see a - gain!

Black - water, take me with you,
To the place that... I have spoken,
I am leaving... ...in the morning,
For the land that... I long to see a - gain!
