At last alone, his fire's dying 
Burned another day 
Now to pretend 
and make up an ending 
somewhere far away 

He reached for a book all bound in leather 
something that he knows he's never read 
and the first page says beware you've found the answer 
the next one says I wish that you were dead! 

Don't go on, put it back 
You're reading from the Bible Black! 

What's this word I see 
Who are you and who are me 
Maybe I just stumbled in the dark 

I must have been out cold 
but the way the story's told 
They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah 

Let me go I've seen a vision 
But the line has left me blind 
Take me back 
I must have the Bible Black! 

Well here I go again 
From the start to the end 
I wish I could remember what I've done 

Now here's another spell 
it could take me straight to hell 
and I feel I'm getting closer to my home 

Let me go I've found addiction 
and it makes me feel alive 
Take me back 
I must have the Bible Black! 

He locks himself away and tastes the silence 
Hungry for another bite of wrong 
and just the words "oh Lord please take me with you" 
Took him to a place we don't belong 

Let him go! 
He can't come back 
He's reading from the Bible Black! 

So if your fire's dying, 
then what's the use of trying? 
I may know another place that you can go 

It's hiding in the pages 
but you may not come back 
you're reading from the Bible Blaaaaack!!!
