[Verse 1]
Paint me lifeless grey
For I have lost a friend today
To desperate selfishness
And so I will regress
To something more disturbing
Than all my words can say
Black and white can not explain
So paint me lifeless grey

[Verse 2]
Paint me darkest black
Tightened ropes will never slack
To free the chosen few
Or change my charcoal hue
I may be color-coated
But that won't hide the fact
That under shades of lifeless grey
I'm painted darkest black

[Chorus]
It's just about that time of year
When we will lose somebody dear
Is that a funeral march I hear?
It's just about that time of year
