Black Halo
One of these days I will be free
My parents will finally understand
and all that I've worked for will go down, down, down
My final breath will be my first
Into a life of death
Pain and lies and held-back tears
Will be a thing of the past
I will be free
as free as an angel
an angel with a halo as black as the night
flying and flying past all the stars
into a place where there is only dark
misery and melancholy Will no longer hold me captive
like chains that grapple at my wrists
no, when I die they will break free
and all the rest I'll leave behind me
My parents will finally understand
and all that I've worked for will go down, down, down
My final breath will be my first
Into a life of death
Pain and lies and held-back tears
Will be a thing of the past
I will be free
as free as an angel
an angel with a halo as black as the night
flying and flying past all the stars
into a place where there is only dark
misery and melancholy Will no longer hold me captive
like chains that grapple at my wrists
no, when I die they will break free
and all the rest I'll leave behind me
