Black Blacker Than Black Songtext
von Sleep of Monsters

There is a pipe
That′s hanging from the sun
The origin of storms
And where the winds come from

We're curled upon a catafalque of stone
In mortal dread before the depths unknown

Of blacker than black
Black blacker than black
Black blacker than black

And we will leave behind
Our feeble mortal mind
For all the things on high
It′s deaf and numb and blind

And silently they'll come
The daughters of the sun
In chariots of gold
Their veils slowly unfold


And in the mansions of the night
Sisters of sleep they do abide
Where mercurial is fixed
And fixed is mercurial

In the dark beyond the day
We too are stars upon our way
Shining out of the black depths
Where we must play

There is a piper
At the gates of dawn
Where horses of the sun
Plunge into oblivion

Of ivory, of horn
The wise have said
Astrea, Scorpio
The Fountainhead

Of blacker than black
Black blacker than black
Black blacker than black

And silently he plays
The piper at the gates
The sphinx with the syrinx
The hiss of the abyss


The hiss of serpent's kiss
The bliss of the abyss
A hiss of kisses′ bliss
A piss in the abyss

And in the mansions of the night
Sisters of sleep they do abide
Where mercurial is fixed
And fixed is mercurial

In the dark beyond the day
We too are stars upon our way
Shining out of the black depths
Where we must play

And in the mansions of the night
Sisters of sleep they do abide
Where mercurial is fixed
And fixed is mercurial

In the dark beyond the day
We too are stars upon our way
Shining out of the black depths
Where we must play

Black black
Black blacker than
Black black
Black blacker than

Black black
Black blacker than
Black black
Black blacker than
