Black Sea
Lyrics From the LP "The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness", 2017

Well it was raining on the Black Sea
When something very simple troubled me
I think I realized I don't have to be
With someone else who does not want to be
It's very simple.

We were truly sentimental
My mistake was never knowing
When the day had come.
Maybe I didn't want to feel alone
With someone else who could not be alone.
It's very simple.

Never mind ...
It's like our time is tarnished.
The sky grew dark, and vanished.
And I don't realize it ...

Well, Sunday morning
Breaking up.
You said it would be better if you traveled alone
You said you would better off, yeah
"Better off", yeah
Better off, but then

Monday morning
Waking up:
You said that "we should stay together this time" ...
You said it would be better, someday.
"Better, someday",
But I don't trust this.

Well, it was thunderin' and lightnin'
The sea was churning up the deep within.
The sky was pouring on the sand, below,
And every droplet of rain, explodes.
It's very simple.

Never mind ...
I fall for every girl
Who falls into my temple of lies,
And maybe it was time to call it
Time to call it

Well, Sunday morning
Breaking up.
You said it would be better if you traveled alone
You said you would better off, yeah
"Better off", yeah
Better off, but then

But then Monday morning
Waking up:
You said that "we should stay together this time" ...
You said you would be better, someday.
"Better, someday",
But I don't trust this.


I think it's time to bring the big top down
And leave this tiny little beach town
Oh! I guess I really should have known ...
Oh! You think I really would have known ...

I think it's time to bring the big too down
And leave this tiny little
And leave this tiny little
And leave this ...

Well, Sunday morning
Breaking up.
You said it would be better if you traveled alone
You think you would better off, yes
"Better off", yeah
Better off, but then

But then Monday morning
Waking up:
You said that "we should stay together this time" ...
You said you would be better, someday.
"Better, someday",
But I don't trust it.

And then Sunday morning
Breaking up.
You said it would be better if you traveled alone
You think you would better off, yes
"Better off", yeah
Better off, but then

And then Monday morning
Waking up:
You said that "we should stay together this time" ...
You said you would be better, someday.
"Better, someday",
But you don't trust me.
