Diamond Head - Shades of Black

The voices cry for a broken spirit Whispers 'rest in peace now' Weeping for him in secret The night breaks through the clouds as witness To the sorrow that's unforgiving And the light slowly diminishes As I lie here and float in between The shades of black I look upon the stars Yours is brightest of them all I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotion Your words are sewn into our hearts bereaved Fuse together pieces While we're holding in all our tears The lights break through the dark to listen As the songs ring unforgiving And our voices are undiminishing And as I lie here and float in between The shades of black I look upon the stars Yours is brightest of them all I need a long time to grieve and replenish emotions Rusty nails on the ground now you're free of your cage And the sound of your voice will forever live on In the strength of your words we'll remember your fire From the earth into stone And through bones we live and we die Live and die
