Black Gaffa Songtext
von Fall of Carthage

In the full moon′s dark delight, a tale of dread
Where fear and anxiety, in silence spread
Under Lunas rigid eye, your silhouette
Without hand-gloves, a brainless act

A saw whispers secrets, a knife confirms
And with black gaffer, it all returns
Fear grips tight with every step
Substance eats away what is trapped
Trapped, trapped, trapped

As you awake to the scene
It's not a bad dream
It glows in your eyes
Like fireflies

You wanna see the world burn
Should be our concern
But we′re too surprised
By your alibis


Bones won't mend, no peace o' mind
Errors etched in the sands of time
With trembling hands, the tape is torn
A futile fix for a soul so worn, now
Pa-nic ri-ses, conscience screams
You can′t escape
Fragments of a life once whole
Buried deep in memories cold

And as you face what you′ve done
There's nowhere to run
The darkness inside
No, you cannot hide

You try to piece it all back
There′s no double-check
The damage is done
There's nowhere to run

Run from the darkness
Run, run from the cold
Ain′t no way to fix it motherfucka
You're sold, uh

As you awake to the scene
It′s not a bad dream
It glows in your eyes
But we're too surprised
But we're too surprised


Sold to the dark side
You traded with the beast
You′re in it′s hands now
Damned forever at least
See, duct tape won't settle anything
This abuse keeps you hanging from a string
Marionette, will you regret
Well it doesn′t make a difference, no
It's too late to let go
