A Hundred Thousand Shades of Black Songtext
von Shining Black

I woke up today
To everything colored in black
I rubbed my eyes
But still all the colors were not coming back
I walked out of the room
Stepping on black grass
Black birds
They were singing my name

A hundred thousand shades of black
Have painted this dark Earth
While the spring is coming back
Black flowers spread their scent
But in the distance there′s a light
A flickering warm white
The sky above it is all blue
I understand it's you


And then I ran
I left a black river behind
Making my way
Through the undergrowth under a black rain
When you left me alone
All colors have left my soul
One by one
Till black ruled my world

A hundred thousand shades of black
Have painted this dark Earth
While the spring is coming back
Black flowers spread their scent
But in the distance there′s a light
A flickering warm white
The sky above it is all blue
I understand it's you
It's you
I know it′s you

If you′d wait there, I'm coming for you
I′d fly if I could
Would you help me to bring back the light?
The colors of life
Since the day you were gone
The colors left with you
Every day I look outside, just a check
And it's all black


A hundred thousand shades of black
Have painted this dark Earth
While the spring is coming back
Black flowers spread their scent
But in the distance there′s a light
A flickering warm white
The sky above it is all blue
I understand it's you
