The future is black

in the streets of San Francisco up in Washington, D.C.
there's a movement that's crossing all the lines
while we speed into the future,
the deceiver plants the seeds
and he hides from you the truth behind the lies

the blind will lead the blind
into the valley of sorrow
into the night they will ride

if you look behind the secrets,
in between the lust and greed
you will see the motives coming from the heart
in the shadows of division,
in the cracks of human pride
we only fight for what we cannot hide

the blind will lead the blind
into the valley of sorrow
into the night they will ride

can't you see there's a levy of tears in my eyes
and I don't know if I can hold back
take the trouble and pain that my two eyes have seen
and I know that the future is black

look at you now
look at you now, baby

the future is black
there's no turning back
the future is black

(solo)

see the world spinning out of control
one look in the past the future won't last

can't you see there's a levy of tears in my eyes
and I don't know if I can hold back
take the trouble and pain that my two eyes have seen
and I know that the future is black

look at you now
look at you now, baby

the future is black
there's no turning back
the future is black
