Signal Black Spot

God love you now you are

Strung out between the stars

Heeded the siren when she called.

What’s all to the good you say

To take your friends away

A man lying bleeding in the road

One small light fading away that should have grown

While we still have tears to shed

Take someone else instead

Beat on another guy

So we can sit around and wonder why we still can’t reach

A single black spot

My best days may be gone

But I’d exchange for none

Not with the fire that’s in me now.

I know the iceberg song,

I know her sighs and moans

And she’d be no good friend to me,

I won’t go down easy at the end

Now hear the angels sing

Beyond imagining

The cost of what you never thought

Here comes a rider

After dark
