Black Waters Lyrics by Insomnium

In the Halls of Awaiting

2000

[Verse 1]
Sober is my mind, now that
Misfortune has faced my kind;
Weary glazed stare
Beneath the pitch-black hair
On my cheeks, once so live
Adorn flood of tears, caused by strife
And as I grieve under the sky
Even raven croaks to me it's despise
My warm hand against your cold palm
Words echoing in the air through you're gone
[Verse 2]
Sober is my mind
Black is the colour I feel
These completely dead emotions
Drain the last bit of me
No matter how many tears I shed
No matter how much I repent
Some things just can't be undone
And some of us can't be forgiven
No matter how many tears I shed
Some things can't be undone
[Bridge]
No matter how many tears I shed
No matter how much I repent
[Verse 3]
I've reached the point of the no return
These are deeds from I can not flee
From a reflection I see a tired man
Longing for a relief
Black waters in front of me
Will sway me till I'm in sleep
Carry me to the shores of Manala
Where I'll be free from my sins
Black waters will sway me till I'm sleep
This roaring stream will wash me pure and clean
[Verse 2]
Sober is my mind
Black is the colour I feel
These completely dead emotions
Drain the last bit of me
No matter how many tears I shed
No matter how much I repent
Some things just can't be undone
And some of us can't be forgiven
No matter how many tears I shed
Some things can't be forgiven
