Black Sunshine

Verse1

Welcome back to the darkness

my friend

take a good look now

'cause this could be the end

everything you know

everything you feel

could be gone now

your heart and soul

don't exist here now anymore

Verse2

Bleed no more

don't cut yourself again

this is where your pain ends

make your choice now

'cause tomorrow will be too late

close your eyes and go to sleep

but pray tomorrow when you wake

you don't see the darkside of sin

in your face

Bridge

When you look in the mirror

it won't be the same

only God himself can save you

only God can save you

only God can save you

Chorus

Look up to the sky

and open your eyes

your world's not comin' to an end

you're not goin' down

with the Black Sunshine again

look around

there's somethin' you can do

pray to God you make it through

you're not done

this ain't you

when the Black Sunshine

goes down

don't let it take you

take you

take you

Verse3

Forget about your past

pray for your future now

the party never lasts

you're up then you're down

when the bell starts to toll

and you're runnin' for the door

turn around

God is right there

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Verse4

Get ready

He won't let you hit the floor

don't close your eyes

that don't take away the pain

you hide

don't close your mind

it means everything here

He won't let it be taken away

(solo)

Verse5

This is what happens

when the hero inside you

shuts down

you become your own worst enemy

you try to think

but you're too blind to see

when you come here

look to God

He will make you see

He's the light at the end of the tunnel

He is love

not hate

this is where you become

the best you can be

shinin' in God's grace

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this song when I was in my early 20's. I had been listening to Soundgarden at the time and thought it would be cool if I tried to write a song a long the lines of how they wrote. That's how "Black Sunshine" came about.
