Taking The Black Songtext
von Footprints in the Custard

Have white and pasty wenches,
Lost all of their allure,
Do you plough and churn the field,
And wish you could have more?
Don′t you fret my lucky man,
A brave new world awaits,
To change your life forever,
Walk through the black gates

Cutthroats and rapists,
Bastards and thieves,
Honour and glory
Or death on your knees?
Stand your ground,
Ring out the bell,
On my command,
Unleash Hell


Winter is coming,
The choice has been made,
You can't turn away,
From the course that is laid,
You swore an oath,
And you can′t take it back,
Cause when you take the black,
You can never go back!

Oaths that can't be broken,
Stay with you for life,
Turn your back on winter,
Take shadow for a wife,
Turn away from sunshine,
You can't abide the light
You plunge our swords in darkness,
And thrust away all night

Cutthroats and rapists,
Bastards and thieves,
Honour and glory
Or death on your knees?
Stand your ground,
Ring out the bell,
On my command,
Unleash Hell


Black!
As the flightless crow
Black!
Sends me down below
Black!
Set me on this track
I′ve taken the black
I can never go back

Winter is coming,
The choice has been made,
You can′t turn away,
From the course that is laid,
You swore an oath,
And you can't take it back,
Cause when you take the black,
You can never go back!
